6/12 - Loving Day (Black American)

A Win for Love June 12, 1967, Loving v. Virginia, a landmark civil rights case, struck down all anti-miscegenation laws in 16 states, effectively ending bans on interracial marriage. The case involved Mildred Loving, a woman of color, and her white husband Richard Loving, who in 1958 were sentenced to a year in prison for marrying each other. Because interracial relationships are much more common today, many people forget that this was such a monumental win for love.
