About this audiobook
In 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Loving v. Virginia that laws against interracial marriage were unconstitutional. Mildred Loving, a black woman married to a white man, had been prosecuted under one such Virginia law in 1958 and challenged it in the high court. Jeffrey Brown talks to Bernard Cohen, a longtime friend of the Lovings and one of the lawyers who argued their case before the Supreme Court.
