44 Year Anniversary

[Macamus Prime]

The end of June, marks the 44th anniversary of interracial marriages allowed in the USA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage#United_States

Interracial marriage in the United States has been fully legal in all U.S. states since the 1967 Supreme Court decision that deemed anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional, with many states choosing to legalize interracial marriage at much earlier dates.

The map in the link shows the states that repealed anti-miscegenation laws.

Mid-June of 1967, said anti-miscegenation laws were repealed and, for example, any fine young white woman could finally marry a big strong black man she has always loved and longed for!!

<--Proud citizen of a state that never had such an intrusive law.

BTW, NPR had an interesting feature on the couple that brought the lawsuit that ended up in the Supreme Court:

On the flip side side, we (white males) now have access to Asian females to help offset any imbalance that might have occurred.
