💖💖Black and Brown History Everyday: The Loving Family ❤️ (Loving vs. Virginia) 1967: Valentine’s Day edition Black History Month 💖💖
So they worked very, very hard to help people understand that considering their marriage, it's God's work. She said, that everyone has a right to marry whomever they chose. They loved each other. They got married. She said, I'm not marrying the state. The law should allow a person to marry whoever they want

Hey, there. I really appreciated this, but I think it's a little misplaced just for, like, because it's black history month. And again, any other time would be great because I'm also in an interracial marriage. You know, my wife's not black. But it's just, I kind of think these stories are better listed for, you know, the time of the year when it's not supposed to be centered on people of african descent. I don't know

Thank you so much for your opinion. But it did say Valentine's Day edition and it's black and brown history. Their children are black and brown. They're black. At least his wife was. He wasn't. He was caucasian. And I'm black. And it's part of my story that I was telling, too. So. And my children are mixed, too. They are black and white, so they're black and brown

I found this story to be so compelling and simply amazing because they really went through the wringer just to be together and just wow. Just wow. It just wow. But, yeah, this was a great story. It was a great movie, and I really enjoyed learning about it

You. Yeah, this is a real story. I mean, they were willing to go to prison just to be together. They left their state, their home in order to be together, and then they were willing to take on the government in order to be together. So I'm sure during that time, they were harassed and called names and threatened, and they had children that they had to protect

They really stayed together and they went through all of that. I think, if I'm not mistaken, she had to sleep in the trunk or something, or ride in the trunk in order to go in the town. I remember watching a documentary, but I don't remember all the details. But this was definitely one heck of a story, girl. One heck of a story. But, yeah, the vulnerability of love is missing. And so many people are

They stood up for each other. They stood up for their kids and their family, because it's hard enough to bring someone of a different nationality, sometimes even into the family less known society. So I'm sure they had their problems, but they faced it together and they worked together and they took it all the way to the Supreme Court to be able to take care of it. So I'm really proud of them. So thank you so much for listening and for commenting

I'm trying to learn what that's about and how I could use it, but I'm getting so much knowledge by these photos people are putting and what they're saying along with them. And I just thank you for taking the time and sharing this information, and I just encourage you to continue what you're doing and be blessed here on swell or wherever you decide to express yourself and your knowledge and your craft. So thank you very much. Till next time

That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. Thank you for the blessing. Blessings. Right back your way. Thank you. Yeah. I mean, put up a photo and if you want to explain what the photo is, if you want to accentuate your swells by adding photos, a lot of people do a photo and then do a swell about that photo. So, so many different ways
