…In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the case of Richard Perry Loving, who was white, and his wife, Mildred Loving, of African American and Native American descent.
The case changed history - and was captured on film by  LIFE photographer Grey Villet, whose black-and-white photographs are now set to go on display at  the International Center of Photography.
In 2007, 32 years after her husband died, Mrs Loving - who herself passed away the following year - released a statement in support of same-sex marriage. She said: ‘Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the “wrong kind of person” for me to marry. I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry.’

Speechless.

Please let Ron Paul run as a third party candidate. Please let Ron Paul run as a third party candidate.

If that happens, they might as well re-inaugurate the president on the spot.

This video answers the question - “How much cocaine was around in 1988?” 

Competitive aerobics is due for a comeback. There’s probably already a gym somewhere in Brooklyn.

Can’t. Look. Away.

Alan Thicke was very qualified to judge this competition.

Is it me, or were pelvises way longer in the 80s?

Am I the only nerd who saw this skit and said, “But Hogwart’s is protected by a special charm! No one can apparate or disapparate on the premises!”

I am not proud.

I can totally hear him saying this.

  • Pimp: You from outta town?
  • 20-year-old Tony, walking back to his hotel in Boston where he stayed while covering an event for our college newspaper: Yeah.
  • Pimp: You lookin' for a good time? I got girls.
  • Tony: No, thanks. I have to get up early tomorrow.
  • Tony today, when I teased him about this: I was trying to be nice to the guy, okay? I didn't want to be rude!
