It was forty years ago today ...
Supreme Court, Loving vs Virginia,

Mixed-race marriages are legal.

I never cared much for LBJ, but some good stuff happened during his presidency.

1. Thanks for posting the decision
It is nice to read the thinking of the court.

I'm in an interracial marriage myself.

I always like the fact that the couple was named "Loving". That is what it is all about, after all.

4. Bingo
Even though I've heard it argued -- even on DU -- that the argument is different.

Yay for the Lovings!

6. There is a TV movie with Timothy Hutton & Lela Rochon...
Made about 10 years ago called Mr & Mrs Loving about the case. It was on cable though I don't know if it's on tape or DVD anywhere.
