On WestSouthwest, a Valentine's Day Program this weekend at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum on bi-racial marriage. And Gongwer News Service Editor Zach Gorchow fact checks the claim that the Michigan Legislature is about to pass a law banning sodomy.
The Kalamazoo Valley Museum is presenting Bi-racial Marriages: Narratives from Kalamazoo Sunday afternoon at 1:30 in the Mary Jane Stryker Theater. The museum's Assistant Director of Programs Elspeth Inglis and Director of Diversity and Inclusion Felix Brooks tells us why they chose this program for Valentine's Day, and discuss Michigan's history of laws against interracial marriage.
Your Facebook feed may have recently included a story on the Michigan Legislature's plan to pass a law banning sodomy. Gongwer News Service Editor Zach Gorchow explains that the law is already on the books. He says it's strictly symbolic since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down what are known as "miscegenation" laws in 1967. Gorchow explains why the law isn't likely to be taken off Michigan's books anytime soon.
