  • Symposium Fifty Years of Loving V. Virginia and the Continued Pursuit of Racial Equality Foreword
    SYMPOSIUM FIFTY YEARS OF LOVING V. VIRGINIA AND THE CONTINUED PURSUIT OF RACIAL EQUALITY FOREWORD R.A. Lenhardt,* Tanya K. Hernández** & Kimani Paul-Emile*** INTRODUCTION It has been ten years since this journal last published a volume exploring Loving v. Virginia,1 the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1967 decision invalidating antimiscegenation laws on equal protection and due process grounds.2 In that time, the American public has been treated to a virtual smorgasbord of new opportunities to love Loving. First, in a way few could have imagined fifty years ago when seventeen states criminalized interracial marriages,3 that decision has provided the impetus for a “global network” of celebrations designed to praise interracial relationships and families and to combat discrimination.4 Families and couples now gather annually in communities * Professor of Law and Faculty Director, Center on Race, Law and Justice, Fordham University School of Law. ** Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law, Fordham University School of Law. *** Associate Professor Law, Fordham University School of Law. This conference would not have been possible without the assistance of a network of people. We are very grateful to Amanda Gottlieb, Julia MacAllister, Adam Minchew, Catherine Tremble, and others at the Fordham Law Review for their hard work in connection with this Symposium. We also extend special thanks to Tomas Barron for excellent research assistance and to Carrie Johnson, Shanelle Holley, and Rob Yasharian for their hard work in publicizing and handling the many details involved in making an event of this sort successful. Finally, we express our gratitude to Dean Matthew Diller for his support and, of course, extend thanks to the talented scholars who, by participating in the conversations facilitated by this conference, deepened our collective understanding of Loving v.

  • Defending Love Claire Barber and Kate Doherty Senior Division Performance Process Paper Word Count: 494
    Defending Love Claire Barber and Kate Doherty Senior Division Performance Process Paper Word Count: 494 1 Our National History Day topic is centered around the Loving vs. Virginia court case which abolished anti-miscegenation laws throughout the United States. We chose this topic because of its proximity to where we live with Claire living on the border between Bowling Green and Caroline County and Kate living in downtown Fredericksburg both close to the Lovings’ residence in Caroline County. We feel honored to locally have such a monumental case. We began our research at the University of Mary Washington’s Simpson Library. We were able to find law books that discussed the changes in the law during this time. Additionally, we saw how many people wrote first-hand accounts of the discrimination that those in interracial marriages faced before and after the ruling. It was really fun finding different means of collecting information as well, including an interview with the Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney for the city of Fredericksburg. At first, we were disappointed that the UMW library did not have the physical Free Lance-Star newspapers for the year of 1967, but we were informed that they had been converted to microfilm, which was challenging for us. As two teenagers who had never even heard of microfilm and it took trial and error to learn how to load the machine and in the end, use it. To gain more insight into the personal aspects of the case, we tried to get in contact with Bernard Cohen, one of the original lawyers on the Lovings’ case, who still lives in Fredericksburg.

Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

Still others, such as Richard and Mildred Loving, approach progress from a personal need—eventually seeing their victory affecting others as well . The Lovings did not see themselves as activists . They were a quiet married couple—he was white, she was black and Native American—living in the Virginia countryside . They were not involved in the events of the civil rights movement .

Does he really love me? The sheriff— The government— can’t tell me who I can marry. Or who I can’t marry. In 1955, in Caroline County, Virginia, amidst segregation and prejudice, injustice and cruelty, two teenagers fell in love. Their life together broke the law. But their determination would change it. Richard and Mildred Loving were at the heart of a landmark Supreme Court case that legalized marriage between the races.

  • Loving V. Virginia
    Loving v. Virginia Taking a Stand for Marriage Aliyah Hamlin Junior Division Individual Exhibit Student composed words on exhibit- 498 Process Paper - 490 Process Paper One of my main interests is black history and the Civil Rights movement. My love for this steered me in the direction to do a project about a Civil Rights Supreme Court case. When my class was first introduced to History Day, my teacher showed us a list of previous topics. I was looking down the list and saw Loving v. Virginia. I asked my teacher about it and he ​ ​ explained that it was about an interracial couple. It was perfect because my parents are an interracial couple and I never knew it was illegal to marry a different race. Making a connection to my topic would be more meaningful to me. Doing the research for the Lovings was tough because they were not well-known. My own parents did not know about this until I did this project. I utilized the Library of Virginia. This had many newspapers, documents, photos, and other various resources on the Loving’s court case. While researching, I came across the transcript and the two-hour long oral argument ​ ​ given by the Supreme Court in 1967. Some of my most reliable sources originated from the Loving’s personal photographer, Grey Villet. I came across an amazing book, Virginia Hasn’t ​ Always Been for Lovers, that had court documents, arrest records, interracial laws in states, ​ pictures, and gave good details on the Loving’s story. I was also able to interview Philip J.

Virginia overturned the country’s anti- miscegenation laws. The exhibition, organized by Assistant Curator of Collections Erin Barnett, includes some twenty vintage prints by Grey Villet drawn from Villet’s estate and the Loving family. An HBO documentary The Loving Story, directed by veteran photo editor and filmmaker Nancy Buirski, inspired a stronger look at Villet’s legacy and his intimate images of the Lovings. In the film, his images become a narrative tool that underscores Villet’s personal approach to the couple’s story. The film debuts February 14, 2012. The photographs focus not on the epic legal battle surrounding this groundbreaking Civil Rights case, but instead show the Lovings’s dedication to each other and their family, and their daily life in the Virginia countryside they cherished.
