Chapter 6: Loving

Unscripted Musings

Hey Coconuts,

Today we take a trip back to the 1960s where interracial marriage was considered a sin and treated like a felony. Last week we spoke of how Atticus's character is an inspiration to generations, but today we want to introduce Richard and Mildred Loving. Their characters and personalities dealt with calamity with a calm approach. Their polite perseverance lead to policy changes impacting not one, not two but 15 states!

We hope you enjoy our discussion on the Loving vs. Virginia case and the acutely accurate movie adaption Loving released in 2016. We also talk about love and how we view it, along with how some of our lovely coconuts define it.

PS. The internet all over the Middle East was cranky so forgive us for the random pauses and static noises. We tried our best to edit it out.
