#26: The First Interracial Marriage in Mississippi
This may look like just another photo of a happy couple on their wedding day, but this photo actually holds a lot of historical significance. It captures the first interracial wedding in Mississippi, which took place in 1970. As it may (or may not) be hard to believe, interracial marriage was only legalized in the U.S. three years prior to this photo, in 1967.
