"Loving v. Virginia" by Duchess Harris explores the landmark Supreme Court case that challenged interracial marriage laws in the United States. The story follows Richard and Mildred Loving, a white man and a Black woman, whose love defied societal norms and legal restrictions in the 1950s. After getting married in Washington, D.C., they returned to Virginia, where they were arrested for violating the state's anti-miscegenation laws. Their fight against racial prejudice culminated in a historic Supreme Court decision in 1967, which declared such laws unconstitutional, thereby upholding the right to love across racial lines. The narrative highlights themes of love, justice, and social change. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
