This was (or at least should have been) a major headline at the time
In 1958, Richard and Mildred Loving left Virginia and married legally in Washington, D.C. Virginia refused to recognize their marriage because the state classified them as belonging to different races. Soon after returning home, officers entered their house at night and arrested them. In 1959, they were each sentenced to one year in prison, but the judge suspended the sentence on the condition that they leave Virginia and not return together for 25 years.
The Lovings moved to Washington, D.C., but Mildred deeply missed their families, their community, and the quiet country life they had left behind. After living away for about five years, she wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy asking for help. He directed her to the American Civil Liberties Union, where attorneys Bernard Cohen and Philip Hirschkop agreed to challenge their conviction.
Their case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 12, 1967, the Court ruled unanimously in their favor, ending state laws that kept couples like the Lovings from marrying. Richard did not ask for fame or attention. His message to their lawyer was simple: “Tell the court I love my wife.”
