Your Loving Day Stories

54 years ago today Richard and Mildred Loving won their landmark Civil Rights case against the state of Virginia.

Because of the Lovings states were no longer permitted to create racist laws that would prevent couples from marrying one another because of the color of their skin. Unfortunately, this right was not extended to ALL couples until 2015 when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of LGBTQ+ couples and their right to marry. Every year on June 12th interracial couples across the US honor the sacrifice of Richard and Mildred and celebrate Loving Day. This year we asked YOU to answer one important question: What does Loving Day mean to you? In this episode you will hear interracial couples from all across the country share the importance of Loving Day and what it means to them and their families. If you’re anything like me you’ll need a few tissues for this one. Happy Loving Day!
