Es la historia de como Mildred y Richard se enamoraron y se casaron en Washington, D.C., pero, al regresar a su pueblo de Virginia, fueron arrestados (de manera dramatica) por violar las leyes de ese estado contra el matrimonio interracial. Los Loving se rehusaron a que sus hijos crecieran creyendo que el amor de sus padres era incorrecto, asi que litigaron la injusta ley y llevaron el caso hasta la Corte Suprema, ¡y ganaron!This is the story of one brave family: Mildred Loving, Richard Perry Loving, and their three children. It is the story of how Mildred and Richard fell in love, and got married in Washington, D.C. But when they moved back to their hometown in Virginia, they were arrested (in dramatic fashion) for violating that state's laws against interracial marriage.
