I heard this last night. Mildred Loving, one of the married plaintiffs in Loving v Virginia died last Friday. It's worth remembering (IMO) that people were arrested for interracial marriage in my lifetime. I was 11 when this case was decided. My own grandparents believed in segregation to their dying days and voted for George Wallace for president.
