History is littered with people who receive little attention for what they have achieved in the struggle for racial equality. One of those people was Mildred Loving. Her story is as important as Brown vs. The Board of Education in Topeka. I had not heard here story until yesterday, when I read about her passing in the L.A. Times. Her story is based on the simple fact that at one time (not so long ago) interracial marriage was illegal in a number of states (mostly likely all of them at one time).
In her case the state was Virgina. Her desire to be with the one she loved lead to a landmark supreme court decision in 1967. As a person who is in an interracial marriage (my wife is a Filipina)Â I’m blessed that Mildred and others like her followed the paths their hearts lead them to. This is my attempt to pay homage to her and others like her. Visit the link above to read her bio and click here to read The Washington Post’s article about her passing.
