So today is "Loving Day". So stated due to the date June 12, 1967 when the Supreme Court of the US overturned a lower court ruling against Mildred and Richard Loving.
You see Richard was white and Mildred was black and in 16 states inter-racial marriages were illegal.
So Loving Day is the day when inter-racial marriages were made legal.
But what they don't tell you.
Mildred was 'with child' when she was 14 and Richard was 20, that was evidently not a Federal or State, Supreme Court or lower court concern. They started 'dating' when she was 11 (he 17).
So today would we be concerned more about the inter-racial aspect or what a man is doing impregnating a young girl? I think it would be called statuatory rape, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would oppose it. Instead they have an annual celebration around this affair?
Loving Day, oh my!
