What is Loving Day?
On June 12th, 1967, interracial couples became legal thanks to the Supreme Court decision entitled Loving v. Virginia. Before that date, states had the right to separate and punish interracial couples. These punishments included imprisonment of up to ten years. Violations included marriage, sex, and living together. This issue is a part of the civil rights movement that is too often forgotten. On June 12th of every year, celebrate your legal right to love a person of any race.
What should I do on Loving Day?
Loving Day is about remembering and celebrating your rights in any way you see fit. You can invite your friends over for a barbeque or a dinner party, make a toast, or spend some time with someone you love. The important thing is to make Loving Day your own, and to spread the word to others who might not know about it yet. Loving Day is a great reason to celebrate. Contact us about your party and send us a nice group photo! This way, everyone will know how many people are celebrating with them.
