| Richard and Mildred Loving in 1965. Photo by Grey Villet |
I was checking my email a moment ago and I came across some photographs and a story about Mildred and Richard Loving. The Lovings are an interracial couple (Mildred is black, Richard white) who's marriage and subsequent arrest in 1958 led to the dismantaling of U.S. laws preventing interracial marriage.
The pictures of the Lovings and their children are incredibly beautiful. I am very grateful for people like the Lovings; it's hard to imagine that in another time Wes and I wouldn't legally be allowed to marry! Check out the article and the rest of the pictures here:
