53 years ago, marriages like ours were illegal. Today, I'm raising an incredible child freely and openly with the love of my life. But it's not lost on us that we still live in a world with too much hate. There's still much work to do. Let's all do more in this fight. #LovingDay
“Tell the court I love my wife, and it is just unfair that I can’t live with her in Virginia.”
It was only a mere 53 years ago that interracial marriage became legal across our nation, thanks to Mildred and Richard Loving. Their courage paved the way for so many. #LovingDay
On this day in 1967, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in favor of Mildred & Richard Loving.
The decision overturned bans on interracial marriage nationwide, deeming those bans unconstitutional.
Forever thankful for life with Enrique Alvarez-Clary 🤟🏻🤟🏾
