Loving
1958 doesn't seem like ancient history to most of us Villagers, does it? We can all remember things we were doing back then.
There is a movie being made in Virginia called "Loving" about Richard and Mildred Loving. They were an inter-racial married couple from Virginia. They got married in 1958 in Washington DC and went to live in Virginia. They were jailed in Virginia for "unlawful cohabitation" and had to move out of the state or go to prison. They moved. It was not until 1967 that the Supreme Court struck down that Virginia law.
It is amazing to think how times have changed - for the better!
