Mark Krasovic, Associate Director of the Institute on Ethnicity, Culture, and
the Modern Experience at Rutgers-Newark, will facilitate a screening and
discussion of The Loving Story. The Loving Story is the moving account of
Richard and Mildred Loving, who were arrested in 1958 for violating Virginia’s
ban on interracial marriage. Their struggle culminated in a landmark Supreme
Court decision, Loving v. Virginia (1967) which overturned anti-miscegenation
laws in the United States
