Black marriage is on the decline. Since 1970, the percentage of Black men and women who have never married has increased by 15.8 and 20 percent, respectively.  

There’s one activist, Jay White, who wants to change this. White launched the No More Bodies movement to campaign for more committed relationships between Black men and women. 

Research suggests that marriage leads to a number of benefits, including better health, reducing poverty, and positively impacting children’s wellbeing.

Commitment, Jay White believes, is the key to rebuilding the Black family. “Our communities are too fragile to have fly-by-night relationships,” says Jay White.
