My great uncle

Jack and Farzaneh Guillebeaux, on their wedding day in 1965. At that time, in North Carolina, it was legal for interracial couples to live together, but not to marry. So the two of them decided to drive 500 miles north to Wilmette, Illinois, where the Baha’i Temple welcomed their wedding.
