Loving Day: How Interracial Marriage Became Legal
Loading...
Uploaded by adriarichards on Jun 13, 2011
http://frsh.ws/k7J1z6 -- This is the story of Mildred and Richard Loving who were an interracial couple who married in 1958. They were arrested and thrown in jail. They fought for their love with the help of JFK and the supreme court ruled in 1967 that interracial marriage was legal everywhere.
Yay for love!

@adriarichards Yes, I believe you are referring to the case in Tangipahoa Parish (Hammond, near New Orleans) in 2009. It still happens more often than you would imagine in a few states; but if people don't complain or report it (usually out of some type of fear) it never gets noticed or publicized. I could tell you stories that you would not believe still happening in the 20th and 21st century. Some people still hold on to a "master-slave" mentality, and don't WANT to change..

996. Lela Richon played the part of Mildred Loving and Timothy Hutton played the part of RIchard, but it was not really met with Mrs. Loving's approval. (I saw the movie in 1996 and thought that it was very interesting). Another interesting piece of information is that although that law (against multiracial marriage)was overturned in Loving v. Virginia in 1967, there were a few states that didn't honor the Courts ruling. LA was one of them... and in many LA parishes it is still a fight.

@Larjo15 Wow, isn't that just crazy to think states fought "the law"? Geeze. Wasn't there that case a few years back where the couple was refused marriage?
