It's been more than a century since the beginning of Prohibition—the 13-year-long period in U.S. history when the sale, production, transportation, and importation of alcohol was illegal all across the country—but Prohibition lasted quite a bit longer in Oklahoma.

Which act did Oklahoma Governor J. Howard Edmondson sign into law on June 23, 1959 to legalize alcohol sales in the state?
