The Loving Story: Screening
Monday, February 10, 2014 · 12 - 1:30 PM
On Campus : A.O.K. Library
The Department of Africana Studies, the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, and the National Endowment for the Humanities invite you to a screening of The Loving Story.
Film Overview:
Mildred and Richard Loving were arrested in July 1958, in Virginia, for violating a state law that banned marriage between people of different races; such laws had been on the books in most states since the seventeenth century. The Lovings never expected to be awaken in their bedroom in the middle of the night and arrested. The documentary brings to life the Lovings' marriage and the legal battle that followed through little-known filmed interviews and photographs shot for Life magazine.
Co-sponsored by: the Dresher Center for the Humanities, Gender and Women Studies, Office of Student Life's Mosaic: Center for Culture and Diversity, Visual Arts, Women’s Center, and Political Science
There will be a panel discussion held the following day on Tuesday, February 11th at 4:30pm.
