Just one year before she died, and on the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia (the Supreme Court decision that granted nationwide marriage equality to interracial couples), plaintiff Mildred Loving offered a written statement, which proclaimed, in part:

“I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life.”

She declared further:

“My generation was bitterly divided over something that should have been so clear and right. The majority believed that what the judge [in a lower court in Virginia] said, that it was God’s plan to keep people apart, and that government should discriminate against people in love. But I have lived long enough to see big changes. The older generation’s fears and prejudices have given way, and today’s young people realize that if someone loves someone they have a right to marry. … I support the freedom to marry for all.”
