Apples vs. Oranges

I know, I know, another video. Funny! {thanks K!}

Loving, plain and simple.

As you may know, Loving vs. Virginia was a landmark case in which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional the state of Virginia's statute outlawing interracial marriage.

Mildred Loving, a black woman, married Richard Loving, a white man, in 1958. The couple wed in Washington, D.C. to avoid Virginia's Racial Integrity Act. But when they returned to their home state, police officers stormed their house in the middle of the night and arrested them for "miscegenation," a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. { Read more here}

 I think it is so important that we learn more and raise awareness about this landmark case - so much resonates with our country's current struggle regarding civil rights and gay marriage. A documentary about this amazing and resilient couple, using archive footage, is currently seeking funding through kickstarter. The pledge goal is $15,000 will only be funded if that goal is reached in the next 10 days. Here is the KICKSTARTER link - the minimum pledge is $1.

Best wishes to these filmakers!
