'Loving Day: The 50th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia'

"It’s hard to believe 50 years have passed since the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage in the United States. That unanimous decision, handed down on June 12, 1967, is known as Loving v. Virginia."

"In 1958, two residents of Virginia, Mildred Jeter, a black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, were married in the District of Columbia. The Lovings returned to Virginia shortly thereafter. The couple was then charged with violating the state's anti-miscegenation statute, which banned inter-racial marriages. The Lovings were found guilty and sentenced to a year in jail (the trial judge agreed to suspend the sentence if the Lovings would leave Virginia and not return for 25 years)."

Very well done movie about the Lovings, recommended to those who haven't seen it, especially to the Trumpets among us here, who might learn what it''s like to be human.
