The Loving Movie

The Event I attended was a film called “The Loving”. This event was scheduled on Saturday February 11th at 8pm until 10pm. The film was shown at The University of Akron’s student union. There were about thirty people I believe that attended this film showing.

During this film they were many main points that were presented, I would like to share some of them now. The first main point is showing that this was one of the most important supreme court cases at the time. Second was the showing that mixed role or interracial marriage was illegal or not permitted in 21known states including Virginia. The third main point is that it introduced to us the start of the civil rights movement. My last third main point I believe is very important, was the

They contacted them after the couple was banned to return to the state of Virginia for twenty-five years because they would not separate.

Still till this day I care for some African American who are offended by me because I am white. I accept their racial comments towards me, dealing with the anger they have against us white people.
