Loving Day
Loving Day is celebrated on June 12 each year in the United States. It commemorates the landmark Supreme Court case, Loving v. Virginia, which was decided in 1967. This case struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriage, affirming the right to marry regardless of race.
The day is named after Richard and Mildred Loving, the couple at the center of the case. Loving Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equality, promoting awareness of the importance of love and acceptance across different backgrounds and cultures.
