Friday evening I watched the true story of “Loving”.  It recounted the struggle of an interracial couple after their marriage was deemed illegal by the state of Virginia.  They took their fight all the way to the Supreme Court, which ultimately led to the abolishment of the law, claiming that “marriage is an inherent right”.

The flow of the movie was interesting because it was almost like “snapshots” of events.  I think the reason the film felt so powerful was because it was based on a real couple, the Lovings, and their perseverance was inspiring.  Their battle lasted for years but they kept going because they knew it was the right thing to do.  Without their dedication to the case, it may have taken years more for interracial couples to legally be married in all of the states.
