Pro Say Movie Club - Loving

Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter fell in love, found out they were expecting a baby, and ran off to get married. But then they were arrested in their bedroom in the middle of the night. The crime? Back in 1958, Virginia law barred interracial marriage. Their arrest set the stage for a years-long legal fight that made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and changed the future for millions of couples. On this week’s episode of the Pro Say Movie Club we’re talking about the true story depicted in the movie “Loving,” the toll it took on the couple’s life, and how the Loving’s case worked its way through the court system to ultimately change the U.S. Constitution and bolster civil rights forever.
