On this day - June 23, 40 years ago, the first interracial couple in Orange County was married. Alvin and Omelia Garner got their marriage license a year after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state laws forbidding such unions.

John Rosenthal is renowned for his black and white photographs of New York City in the 1970s.
