West Michigan Loving Day Celebration
The West Michigan Loving Day Celebration, now in its eleventh year, commemorates the historic 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loving V. Virginia. This landmark ruling struck down all laws which had banned mixed-race marriages in the remaining sixteen U.S. states.
The case was brought forward by Mildred Jeter, a black and Native American woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, who were arrested in Virginia in 1958 for their interracial marriage. Ebony Road Players, a Grand Rapids-based theater company, is hosting the event called "The Faces of Family" at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum this Saturday from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. More information is at ebonyroad.org/events.
