Why June 12?

June 12, 1967 Loving v. Virginia

Loving v. Virginia was a Supreme Court case that struck down state laws banning interracial marriage in the United States. The plaintiffs in the case were Richard and Mildred Loving, a white man and Black woman whose marriage was deemed illegal according to Virginia state law. With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Lovings appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled unanimously that so-called “anti-miscegenation” statutes were unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. The decision is often cited as a watershed moment in the dismantling of “Jim Crow” race laws. June 12—the anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia decision—is now commemorated each year as “Loving Day,” a holiday celebrating multiracial families. (Want to learn more? - https://www.history.com/topics/civil-rights-movement/loving-v-virginia) This date was carefully chosen (thanks to Alanna's friend, Danielle) to honor Alanna's late parents, Albert & Deborah Wilson. It was also chosen to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifice and dedication put in only 54 years ago, so that we could get married.
