1899 – Samuel Coleridge Taylor and Jessie Walmisley
Samuel Coleridge Taylor was a black British of Sierra Leonine descent who married a white lady Jessie Walmisley in 1899. Even though their marriage was allowed in a small countryside church, they suffered great racial discrimination. Jessie was indirectly isolated from society with many of her white friends and members of the community not wanting to have anything to do with her. On multiple occasions, the couple were attacked by British gangs on the streets of Croydon. Samuel Taylor and his wife lived against the odds and had a successful marriage. Samuel became a celebrated English composer. Through his career, many more interracial couples found a couple to look up to and dare to move around in public. After a while, more and more interracial couples began to be the common thing. Samuel died of Pneumonia and his children went on to be successful musicians.
