The International
Interracial Association (IIA) was founded
in June 1995 by Konrad Hernblad, with the support of three other individuals.
They all met over the Internet from places as diverse as Taiwan, Australia, Hong
Kong, and the United States to form an organization with the
aim of promoting racial and cultural harmony worldwide. The association
is open to all who have an interest in improving racial and cultural unity
through supportive discussion of:
- interracial/cultural
individuals,
- individuals who are
involved in an interracial/cultural relationship,
- parents who have adopted
interracially/culturally,
- those who simply have
an interest in interracial/cultural issues
Given the increase of interracial/cultural
marriages and births worldwide, we plan to translate the home page into many different
languages so as to maintain an international scope and to reach as many people
as possible. If you would like to help, please mail
us).
The website currently features:
with plans to add:
- an international database
registry for individuals who are interested in interracial/cultural issues
- an on-line survey
IIA hopes that you find
the resources that our organization provides useful and enjoyable. Please feel
free to submit a suggestion, post
your comments about the organization, or simply read
comments that others have posted. Thank you for visiting our site.
