Spreading the Love on Loving Day

by Koko Brown June 12, 2011
written by Koko Brown June 12, 2011

Today is Loving Day. I’m sure many of you unfamiliar with the day are wondering what’s that but any day with love in it has to be good.

Loving Day marks the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving vs. Virginia, which eventually would strike down all anti-interracial marriage laws in the United States.

As an interracial romance writer, Loving Day is a startling reminder that less than forty-five years ago people were being jailed for the relationships I write about in my books. I’m also reminded by the sheer humbleness of the couple, Mildred & Richard Loving, who didn’t seek fame, fortune or notoriety so that they could live and raise a family where they so desired.

So today I am trying to spread the love as I mark Loving Day with a heart devoid of hate, anger and prejudice and see my fellow man and woman as just a human being, who should be free to love whomever they want.

If you would like to celebrate Loving Day, there are more than three dozen Loving Day Celebrations planned across the country that you can take a part in. Here’s a partial list taken from Loving Day’s official website.
