Virginia hasn't always been for lovers.

"Mr. Cohen, tell the court I love my wife, and it is just unfair that I can't live with her in Virginia." - Richard Loving.

The Loving v. Virginia (1967) case changed history.

This HBO documentary shows Richard and Mildred Loving's struggle to live together as husband and wife in the state of Virginia. Richard was white and Mildred was half Black and half Native-American. At the time Virginia had miscegenation laws which forbid interracial marriage. They were arrested and jailed for being a mixed couple. They then moved to Washington, DC., but were uncomfortable with city life so they moved back to Virginia with their children and lived together secretly until their love story changed history. The video and 16mm film photos not only capture the Supreme Court case, but the emotional aspect of their everyday lives. Their courageous battle to fight this unjust law shows that no matter your age, race, socioeconomic background...anything...you can make a difference in not only your life, but the lives of others as well. They fought for love. Love has no boundaries...it's just love. This powerful song, A Slow Train by the Staple Singers played during the ending credits. It really captured the courage, perseverance, and love between this man and woman. I encourage everyone to watch this phenomenal documentary.
