“It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other in any game of cards or dice, dominoes or checkers.”
This is an example of a racist Jim Crow law that was placed in Alabama in 1930. I think this law is impractical and I wonder why it would be passed. If the people are scared that they will be infected with a black person's 'disease' then why would they be playing checkers with them in the first place! It makes me sad to think that even if a little black boy and white girl wanted to play Go Fish together they couldn't! But if the two children became friends then they could maybe rise up for anti-segregation and get married and so that's why this law would be passed. So I guess I sort of understand.

A Wedding Story
This is the Wedding Story of my mom and dad :) .
Stephanie Slaymaker and Jim Baghdadi got married on August 19th, which is actually also my mom's birthday. They had been together for almost three years before they got married. They got married in Las Vegas, Nevada, and nobody came, because it wasn't like a traditional wedding. A justice of the peace married my mom and dad. They got married in Las Vegas because my dad said that they could have the wedding and the honeymoon at the same time. They got married in the morning, and that night they went to a casino and stayed in a hotel called The Luxor Hotel.
The groom rented a white convertible, and the couple got married at a famous location called the little white chapel. Many movie stars got married there. The little white chapel is little, and white, and I think it's really cute :). My mom was wearing an ivory colored dress with lace around the neck, and my dad was wearing a navy blue suit. They drove up to a drive-through window and got out of the convertible. There was an older man at the window who asked if the couple wanted to start a family, then he got out the rings and asked them to say the vows. Then they put on the rings and then they kissed. There wasn't any music or entertainment, but after the ceremony they got their picture taken in a gazebo decorated with white roses. That night, they went to a really nice New-Orleans style seafood buffet for dinner.
Though this wasn't the traditional white wedding, my mom said that it was one of the happiest days of her life. She really enjoyed that the wedding took place on her birthday, and that the hotel they stayed in was in the shape of a pyramid. She said she wouldn't change anything about it. When I grow up, I don't want my wedding to be too crazy, or too boring, and I think that my mom's wedding was a great way to get married, although I would have maybe invited some more people. Even though my mom and dad are divorced now, they are still good friends and I'm glad that they had a really nice wedding.

My Name Story :D
Hi People!!!! This post is about my name and how awesome it is! Well, not exactly, it's about how I got my name and a few other things about it. (By the way, my name is Hannah if you didn't already know).
My name is Hannah, and it was decided from the start that my name would be Hannah. It means "grace" or "gracious" and its origin is Hebrew. It's a popular name in the United States, and my mom and dad both really loved the name and it held many good qualities as a choice. For example, it's my aunt's name but you pronounce her name differently and spell it in Arabic script هناء. <----- Isn't it cool???
Hannah also a biblical name (mentioned in the bible). Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel, and when she was unable to have children, she prayed that if god gave her a son, she would let him be raised as a priest. And the last reason (my favorite ;) is that the name Hannah is a palindrome, which means that it is the same word spelled backwards. H_A_N_N_A_H!!!! <----- Isn't it cool???
I really like my name, and I think it suits me well. It was a breeze to learn, and it's pretty common in the U.S. I think it's simple and pretty but if I were to change my name, I think I would change it to Nicole. So that's why if I have a girl I would name it Nicole. My second name choice for a daughter would be Savanna because I am utterly obsessed with cheetahs and they live on the savanna. Plus I like names that start with S and I think Savanna is pretty. If I were to have a boy, I'm not sure what I would name him. I guess I like the name Micheal or Nick but I really haven't given a thought about it. Well, that's my name. BYE, BYE!
