We had a small mention of it in The Sun on Tuesday, but I realized this morning that I could give it better play on here: Mildred Loving, one half of the couple behind Loving vs. Virginia, the case that struck down laws against interracial marriage, died Friday. She was 68.

I will not eulogize her on this site, I'll leave it to the L.A. Times. However, I will advocate, as Anica did last year, Loving Day, which is June 12. Forty years ago last year, people were finally able to legally love (and marry) whoever they chose, thanks to Mildred and Richard Loving.
