Episode Notes


This week in 1958... It was a classic love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. They get married. But in this story, the girl was Mildred Jeter, a Black woman. And her new husband was a white man named Richard Loving. This was in highly segregated Caroline County and interracial marriage was illegal in Virginia.
