1967- January 23…Reggie Howard was born in Macon Georgia
1967- June 12…the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Mildred and Richard Loving
This is the ruling that effectively legalized interracial marriage in the United States
finally overturning all so-called anti-miscegenation laws.
1967!! Y’all this happened in OUR lifetime…
well, at least it was Reggie’s lifetime🤣
Seriously tho…
Every June 12th, I pause to give special thanks to Mildred and Richard Loving
and how their love unwittingly paved the way for couples all over this country
- couples just like Reggie and me.
Their story, all they endured for each other, including jail time🤬
brings perspective to our relationship and what we went through to be together
While plenty of people objected to us getting married…and having children
-it was never against the law 😳
Just the thought of this injustice gets me super fired up😆
plus today’s podcast recording came after an already challenging morning… as you will soon hear about 🍫
In the end -
all that truly matters is that Love is Love is LOVE🖤
