Today, June 12th, marks Loving Day, commemorating the 1967 US Supreme Court ruling in Loving v. Virginia which struck down US state laws banning interracial marriage. The story of Richard and Mildred Loving and this landmark case for civil rights is now being made into a film, Loving, which comes out this November.
Focus Features has partnered with Loving Org to spread the word about a petition to make Loving Day a federal holiday. I encourage you to visit LovingDay.org to learn more about the history and importance of this day.
what a great story and reason to get behind. Everyone should be able to be in love
