Shirley and Bernard's love journey started in 1963 in the height of the civil rights movement while they were both students at FAMU. Bernard always jokes that he an Shirley came together as she was getting out of jail. Both were active in the movement, but that was only a part of the story. In a love story that spans over half a century, the Kinseys share what eventually put them on the path to success, what sacrifices needed to be made along the way, and how art became surprisingly important to their enterprise.
