Happy Black History Month!
Richard and Mildred Loving successfully challenged a Virginia law banning interracial marriage in June of 1967. The day would later become known as Loving Day in the United States. Loving Day happened just 55 short years ago. The Lovings story is certainly inspirational but it is also one of true love. A true love that stood the ultimate hardship and prevailed. This episode tells of their amazing love story, explores Anti-miscegenation laws and talks about what Loving Day now represents.
