Summary
The article discusses the advocacy for the repeal of a 59-year-old anti-nudism law in Arkansas, which prohibits advocating, demonstrating, or promoting nudism and imposes a Class A misdemeanor, causing fear and hindering efforts to challenge the law. The law, originally inspired by a 1957 arrest at a nudist camp, has stifled advocacy and participation in nudism, with individuals facing reluctance and fear from advocating for change, despite believing the law to be unconstitutional.
