UPCOMING PERFORMANCES

Stay tuned for the next performance. We may be doing something for Loving Day, June 12th... however even if we're not, you might still go and check it out -- the event is by Mixed Fruit Productions - Queer Mixed Race artists. Oh yeah.

More info about Loving Day: On June 12th, 1967, interracial couples won the right to love each other thanks to the Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. Before that date, states had the right to separate and punish interracial couples.

These punishments included imprisonment of up to ten years. Violations included marriage, sex, and living together. The Loving Day conference June 21st – 24th in Chicago will commemorate the 40th anniversary of this historic Supreme Court ruling. To get involved with the Loving Day 2007. Conference, email Luis.
