Now in a revised paperback edition featuring a new foreword by Newbery Medalist Renée Watson, Loving vs. Virginia tells the story of a forbidden love in segregated Virginia and the quiet courage behind a Supreme Court decision that changed marriage in the United States forever. From acclaimed author Patricia Hruby Powell comes the story of a landmark civil rights case, told in spare and gorgeous verse. In 1955, in Caroline County, Virginia, amidst segregation and prejudice, injustice and cruelty, two teenagers fell in love. Their life together broke the law, but their determination would change it. Richard and Mildred Loving were at the heart of a Supreme Court case that legalized marriage between races, and a story of the devoted couple who faced discrimination, fought it, and won.
