Richard Loving, who was white, and his wife Mildred, who was black, were banished from Virginia in 1958 because state law prohibited interracial marriage. The Supreme Court, in Loving v. Virginia, declared that law to be unconstitutional. Last week, U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen invoked the case in her ruling against Virginia's same-sex marriage ban. The Lovings are buried in Caroline County, Va. (associated press)
