The radio show hosts discuss the history of the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court case in the context of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Amidst this discussion, the story of Richard Loving and Mildred Loving also unfolds through a series of dramatically portrayed vignettes.  \nWe first meet Richard and Mildred in their hometown in Caroline County, Virginia asthe radio show hosts discuss how Americans in the 1950s and 1960s responded to the struggle for civil rights. Small rural communities like Caroline County viewed the struggle differently than large urban communities like Washington, D.C. Civil rights laws also differed from state to state, which often caused confusion and conflict.  \nDifferent views regarding civil rights caused conflict in communities and families. Richard and Mildred were separated from their families because their marriage was legal in Washington, D.C. but illegal in Virginia, where their families lived. As the radio show hosts reveal, the Lovings’ struggle was only one of many as civil rights protests continued to grow through the 1960s.  \nThese protests did result in some positive changes, however, as several federal civil rights laws were passed in the 1960s. Mildred and Richard’s case also began to gain momentum, ultimately reaching the Supreme Court. In 1967, the Supreme Court ruled that laws against interracial marriage were unconstitutional. Mildred and Richard were not only able to return to Virginia to reunite with their families, their case also laid an important foundation for other civil rights cases to come.  \nAbout the author of A Loving Community  \nDr. Keith Byron Kirk is an Assistant Professor for the theatre department at Virginia Commonwealth University.
