Finding a Way Home: Mildred and Richard Loving and the Fight for Marriage Equality

This account follows Mildred and Richard Loving, who wanted to live near their family in Virginia after marrying. Because theirs was a mixed-race marriage, they were arrested, jailed, and forced away from home. Their effort to challenge those actions led to Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 Supreme Court case connected to their civil-rights struggle. The book also links their story to the continuing movement for marriage equality and includes primary-source documents, photographs, a bibliography, an author’s note, and an index.
