Description

For most children at the present time it might come as an ideal shock to know that before 1967, they could not marry a person of a race different from their own. That used to be the year that the Supreme Court issued its decision in Loving v. Virginia.

This is the story of one brave circle of relatives: Mildred Loving, Richard Perry Loving, and their three children. It’s the story of how Mildred and Richard fell in love, and got married in Washington, D.C. But when they moved back to their fatherland in Virginia, they were arrested (in dramatic fashion) for violating that state’s laws against interracial marriage. The Lovings refused to allow their children to get the message that their parents’ love used to be incorrect they usually fought the unfair law, taking their case all of the way to the Supreme Court – and won!
