Last May, Kansas repealed a similar unenforced law. The Wyoming L.egislature last year repealed its 1943 alien land law, enacted during World War II to keep Japanese from buying property. Voters in South Carolina and Alabama ex punged interracial marriage bans from their constitutions in 1998 and 2000, respectively.

"But the constitution is not sym bolic. It is a living law.” “ I think this is a very good exercise,” said Chet Orloff, director emeritus o f the Oregon Historical Society. "It reminds us what kinds o f people were here in the 1850s and reminds us o f the vigilance and care one has to take in crafting the constitution.” STATE FARM October 02, 2002 In Print A F a m ily ’s M ystical U nderstanding Thirteen Senses B i V icto r V illask S or /H a r p e r C ollins P i blishers ; 2 002 A gifted and accomplished storyteller, Villasenor nar rates the color and magic o f his parents’ marriage in “Thir teen Senses.” The Villasenor family saga reveals many o f the universal joys and pains o f family life, the sorrows that come with deep love and complicated relationships,a ndthe immigrant angst associated with being regarded as an “outsider” in an adopted land.
