Today, June 12th is Loving Day, celebrating the Supreme Court ruling for Loving vs. the state of Virginia which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in sixteen U.S. states. The landmark civil rights decision declared prohibitions on interracial marriage unconstitutional in the nation.
Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote the opinion for the court; he wrote that marriage is a basic civil right and to deny this right on a basis of color is "directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment" and seizes all citizens "liberty without due process of law."
Naturally, we celebrate this ruling and appreciate the Lovings and their fight for the basic right to live as man and wife. This week, we get into that, Nneya cries and Michele goes off into a tangent about honor killings. Enjoy!
