Complex legal arguments are reduced into plain language - empowering the reader to understand how the fight to defend human rights continues today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard and Mildred did enjoy a fairytale romance - at first. As children, their families were close friends and the marriage and birth of their children were celebrated as bringing everyone together as one big happy family. But then, at 2am one night, the Sheriff stormed their home and arrested both of them in bed, charging them with felonies. Facing prison, they accepted exile from Virginia. When they began to dearly miss their families, and wanted their kids to know their grandparents, and go home again, they were forced to fight for their freedom, paving the way to keep other families safe, too.\u003c\/p\u003eContents: \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1957 Virginia may be \"for lovers\" but not for Loving\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat are Racist Laws?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Birds to Jail Birds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1958: Loving to Fight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExile from Virginia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecedents: the History of Challenging Interracial Marriage Laws\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1967: Free Lovings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHappily Ever After...Eventually\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterracial Marriage Rate Increased\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSame Sex Marriage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Loving Legacy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppendix: the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brandy Combs,Aaron Brachfeld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798394980732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Brandy Combs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588335513855,"sku":"9798394980732","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-history-is-also-loving-brandy-combs-9798394980732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
