Happy Loving Day!
Today we celebrate that love truly can win and that love is love is love. ❤️ Immeasurable gratitude for Virginia and Richard Loving and their fierce yet peaceful and justified legal fight for the right to marry in the USA. They challenged structural and economic racism and the laws supporting it just by trying to live and love freely. They won. They loved each other deeply and remain a beacon of hope and light for families just like mine.

Happy Loving Day to my family! ❤️💕 Loving Day represents the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Courts universally allowing for interracial marriage (which like, I guess my family wouldn’t exist legally without?). I’m grateful to come from a multiracial and multicultural household; whatever struggles and judgements may have persisted, I wouldn’t have our family any other way! #lovingday #lovingdayvt #boricua @lovingdayvermont (at Vermont)
No. 1 - Happy Loving Day, America. 💍👰🏻🤵🏾 Interracial marriage & mixed babies wont magically “end” racism, but they have the ability to illustrate how unnatural racism is in a loving human heart ❤️ . Here’s to spending our lives fighting for what we believe in, & fighting for what is right. I’m sorrowful for all those who have ever been rejected, threatened, or even harmed by racist in-laws. I’m grateful that I don’t have to fear for Courtney’s life today, which would not have been the case even 50 years ago. What a wonderful day to celebrate the victory of the Loving family. 🌹 No.2 - Sweet man, how I love you... (I'm trying to put all our wedding photos on my blog but for now I'll just keep sharing some of my favorites here. 💃) No.3 - Regrann from @jerushavox - Happy National Loving Day!!!! 💕❤️I love that the day after our wedding anniversary will always be the day to celebrate legal freedom for interracial marriage in the US. 💍✊🏼✊🏾 We’ve got a long way to go! No.4 - The first time he kissed me he took me by total surprise. Happy 2 year anniversary, my love. 🌹 No. 5 - Happy TWO YEAR anniversary @courtney__samuel ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love you more than I could ever explain. You are the sweetest, most loving man I’ve ever met. I will never forget the first conversation we ever had in college in the study room, where we first got to know each other. You told me about how just a few years earlier you gave your life to God, and how He showed you how beautiful and precious women were to Him. My jaw dropped when you said that...here was this big, fine, macho-looking football player gushing about God to me, telling me how much he respected women...how he couldn’t even watch certain movies or listen to certain music if it disrespected woman. I was so blown away. - - #happytwoyears #weddingphotosession #interraciallove #lovingday #nationallovingday #interracialmarriage #interracialmatch #interracialromance #june12th #anniversaryweek #marriedlife💍 #lacaille #blackwhitelove #mixedfamilies #utahweddingphotography #couplegoals #modelcouple #magazinesubmission #flowercrownwedding #redheadoftheday 💑 #modernweddingmagazine #vintageweddings Regrann from @jerushavox
Loving Day
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court Case that ruled prohibitions on interracial marriages unconstitutional. The decision and the brave couple, Richard and Mildred Loving, who challenged the Virginia statute denying their union because he was deemed a white man and she, a black woman, deserve celebration. The couple had grown up together in a small rural town where racial tensions and segregation persisted, but were faded by familiarity. As adults, Richard and Mildred fell in love and chose to formalize their relationship. They took a trip to nearby Washington, DC. where they secured a marriage license. However, soon after returning to Virginia, one of 16 states, mostly in the American South, which held firm to its anti-miscegenation statute, an overly enthusiastic sheriff barged into the couple’s bedroom in the middle of the night and arrested them. After an uncomfortable stay in jail—a then-pregnant Mildred was detained longer than Richard—the couple were released. Ordered to depart the state for 25 years, the Lovings reluctantly relocated to Washington, DC where they would raise their children. Mildred, in particular, regretted city life and wished to return to rural Virginia. As much as their longing for home and family, the arguments and energy of the era’s black freedom struggle, and faith in the rightness of their course, persuaded the couple to seek the legal support of the ACLU and file a lawsuit. In 1967, a unanimous court ruled in favor of the Lovings, determining that anti-miscegenation statutes violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.
The victory marked the end of anti-miscegenation statutes that had proliferated and persisted in the United States because Americans regularly romanced across color lines and those who depended upon those lines to protect their authority worked feverishly to reinforce them wherever and whenever possible.
--Allison Varzally, on Loving v. Virginia, which marks its 50th anniversary today.
