Happy Loving Day to all those who are in an "interracial" relationship.
Only 59 years ago, in 1967 Virginia, Richard and Mildred Loving awoke with police with flashlights in their bedroom, and were hauled away because they committed what Virginia called unlawful cohabitation.
Their marriage was deemed illegal because Mildred was Black and Native American; and Richard was white.
