Interracial couples challenge white supremacy in ‘Loving’

Season 2017

How Mildred and Richard Loving took down Virginia's ban on interracial marriage in 1967.

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia, which struck down the law prohibiting interracial marriage. Author Sheryll Cashin explores that case and other historical examples in her book “Loving: Interracial Intimacy in America and the Threat to White Supremacy.” Judy Woodruff sits down with Cashin to discuss economic and ideological forces at work.
