Site that celebrates "Loving Day"
Edited on Fri Nov-11-05 03:32 AM by DesertedRose
As in Loving v. VA.

Next June, we'll be prepared. :-)

What is Loving Day?

On June 12th, 1967, interracial couples became legal thanks to the Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. Before that date, states had the right to separate and punish interracial couples. These punishments included imprisonment of up to ten years. Violations included marriage, sex, and living together. This issue is a part of the civil rights movement that is too often forgotten. On June 12th of every year, celebrate your legal right to love a person of any race.
