On this day in 1967, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in favor of our clients, Mildred and Richard Loving.

In 1958, Richard and Mildred Loving were arrested in Virginia for being in an interracial marriage.
Their case went all the way to the Supreme Court. And exactly 55 years ago today, they won — legalizing interracial marriage in every state.
