June 12th marks the celebration of the 1967 Loving vs. Virginia case which made the union of interracial couples legal. In celebration of this historic feat, Loving Day was created, a holiday where couples all over the United States celebrate their right to love a person who does not share their ethnicity.
Aptly titled, Loving Day is a time for showing love while negating prejudice and discrimination through education and exposure. And what better means of exposure than a celebration? Participants are encouraged to attend or throw a Loving Day celebration that can range in size from block party to table for two.
Check out the website, download the Celebration Kit and have a happy Loving Day!
