Twenty images are on display at the International Center of Photography in New York City from January 20 through May 6, 2012.
This is an exhibit about this couple, Mildred and Richard Loving, who in the 1960s helped to get rid of the law against interracial marriages in the U.S. The link I provided gives a little more detail about their story and some images of them and their family. I thought this was interesting and the images are quite lovely. I never really gave thought to there being a ban on interracial marriages, and the fact that it was still in effect only 50 years ago is just mind blowing!
This is amazing! I wrote a research paper on same-sex marriages and compared it to the Virginia vs. Loving case. One of the comments the judge made was that God created different races for a reason and to mix races is to go against God! crazy!
