Samuel L Jackson is thanking his wife for helping him become the man he was meant to be. The movie star and his wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, reflected on their family and relationship amid celebrating 41 years of marriage.
In an interview with PEOPLE published on Wednesday, the couple agreed that the secret to their long-lasting marriage was making a commitment to stay together. “In the beginning, we always said the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together, raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother, since everybody likes to pretend that that’s not the dynamic of the African American family. That it’s just children out here being raised by women, which we know is false,” LaTanya Jackson said.
