Join the Conversation - Film Screening and Discussion @ WTPL

Join us on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. as 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.

This event has been made possible by the NJ Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and is a “Created Equal” project. “Created Equal” is part of the Bridging Cultures Initiative of the NEH, produced in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, to encourage public conversations about the changing meanings of freedom and equality in the United States.
