Mildred and Richard Perry Loving are allowed to marry.

Mildred and Richard Loving were given the right to marry in 1967. Imagine, black and white people could NOT marry each other in 1966. Here’s their photograph. I am dedicating this page to my mother, (today being her birthday) Rose Hoffman, who supported equal rights and taught her children that equal was best for everyone.
