Loving v. Virginia

The video recounts the story of Mildred and Richard Loving, an interracial couple who married in 1958, defying Virginia's laws against interracial marriage. After being arrested, they moved to Washington D.C. and sought legal help from the ACLU. Their case, Loving v. Virginia, reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in 1967 that bans on interracial marriage were unconstitutional. This landmark decision paved the way for increased interracial marriages and influenced future rulings on marriage equality, including same-sex marriage. The video also discusses the cultural impact and media portrayals of the Lovings' story.
