Yes, Florida was one of them.

It's hard to even comprehend...it was so recent.

Overturned 12 June 1967 by Loving v. Virginia (16 states: AL AR DE FL GA KY LA MO MS NC OK SC TN TX VA WV)


Loving Day (pucker up here)
That is a good thing. A very good thing.
I would imagine all wise people would agree. Most caring people will agree. I believe that in my lifetime, I have seen so many good things happen to further the cause of equality in law. Now if only, somehow, we could make people stop LOOKING for differences that divide us.
