CP: Looks at Virgina v. Loving, & Recalling the Trinidad Link
The City Paper recently celebrated the 44th anniversary of the marriage of Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving.

Did you know the couple once lived with relatives on Neal Street (Trinidad)? Read more on this topic in a post from last year.

I hear the same bs crap today over gay marriage.
Amazing the ignorance and the hatred people had and have towards one another.
