Loving Day Watch - Clear

Loving Day is the anniversary of a historic court decision for interracial marriage. Every year on June 12th, it’s a global day of visibility, education, and community. The name comes from Loving v. Virginia (1967), the landmark Supreme Court decision that struck down all laws against interracial marriage in the United States. The symbol in the Loving Day logo has two parts: the heart and the shield. The heart represents Richard and Mildred Lovings’ last name, the Loving court decision, and the love we share with each other as couples, families, and as a community. The shield represents the equal legal protections we should all have, the right to love, and the strength that comes from our connection as a community. Our mission is to steward a shared Loving Day tradition as a way to fight racism through education, create visibility, and build community. All purchases of Loving Day merchandise benefit the Loving Day Project.
