UNSUNG HERO
Mildred Loving, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to the 1967 Supreme Court ruling striking down laws banning marriage between people of different races, passes away at 68. It's unbelievable that this woman has essentially been written out of American civil rights history. More from the New York Times.
A sad, but inspiring story. Should not Ms. Loving be hnored like Ms. Parks? But lte's face it: there are quite a few blacks as opposed to interracial marriage as whites, even today.
