Mildred Loving has passed, but her legacy will live on. I personally thank her and her husband for their courage. Were it not for them, my mom and dad wouldn't have had me. Such little steps they seem now, but they were huge leaps in 1960s, because of their bravery and fight for what they believed was their human right to love and marry who they chose. I hope everyone will have the right to marry who they chose one day.

such a sad thing
i wish i had the chance to have met her
i don't think she even knows what a great thing she did
as a black female married to a white male
am happy that someone stood for the right to love and marry beyond what the color wasand or is.R.I.P Mildred Loving
