Loving Day: A Landmark for Multi-Racial Relationships – Increasing Visibility, Education, and Community
Virtual Event
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.
