R.I.P. Mildred Loving

I find Mildred Loving's death - of the famed anti-miscegenation case Loving v. Virginia - to be a very ethereal end to law school for me. But I am glad to be celebrating her fantastically courageous life as I take my last in class final exam. It really reminds you that good people really can correct great inequalities through the law.

And from her obituary, it looks like she never stopped believing in civil rights:

Mrs. Loving stopped giving interviews, but last year issued a statement on the 40th anniversary of the announcement of the Supreme Court ruling, urging that gay men and lesbians be allowed to marry.
