Mourning the loss of #nichellenichols. Among her many accomplishments, one of TV’s first interracial kisses - the year after the Loving decision. It "changed television forever, and it also changed the way people looked at one another" bit.ly/3cSGtRf #lovingday #startrek

It was two Alexandria attorneys that brought the case of Mildred and Richard Loving all the way to the Supreme Court. 56 years ago today, Chief Justice Warren wrote for a unanimous court in expanding access to marriage. Love is love, and today is #LovingDay in Alexandria!

Happy #LovingDay! NH is the first to codify interracial marriage, but first, last, or in between, the credit belongs to one person. She's the reason I'm here. She inspires everything I do. I can't imagine this day or any other without her. #LovingDay2023 #NHPolitics

On this day in 1967, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in favor of our clients, Mildred and Richard Loving. Our victory in this case overturned bans on interracial marriage nationwide, deeming those bans unconstitutional. #LovingDay

On June 26, 2015 on the steps of the US Supreme Court, lead plaintiff Jim Obergefell said "Today's ruling affirms...Our love is equal." He was talking about Obergefell v Hodges & his own same-sex marriage - it's not hard to hear the echoes of Loving v Virginia. #pride #lovingday
