Webinar overview

Loving Day is celebrated globally on June 12th, originating in the US from a landmark case. An interracial couple were arrested in 1958 simply for being married. They won their case nine days after their arrest, by arguing that these laws were a continuing of laws intended to oppress the Black community. This session will look at their story, and why it is still significant today.

This webinar is hosted by Courtney Wright, I&D expert from Inclusive Employers.
