They were arrested in their bedroom at 2 AM for the crime of being married to each other. Richard and Mildred Loving were an interracial couple in Virginia, where the Racial Integrity Act of 1924 made their marriage a felony. In 1967, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down all state laws banning interracial marriage, declaring that the freedom to marry belongs to every individual regardless of race. This is the story of Loving v. Virginia.
