Loving Day in The Media

New York Times best-selling author Heidi Durrow co-organizes the second-largest celebration of Loving Day in the country, during the annual Mixed Roots Film and Literary Festival.
The flagship Loving Day Celebration in New York City was featured in the BBC documentary series Our World in 2007, on the 40th anniversary of the Loving decision. Coverage of the annual celebration has also been featured in Time Magazine, on the Voice of America, National Public Radio, the Washington Post, and on the PBS NewsHour.
Several cities and municipalities have issued proclamations officially recognizing Loving Day as a holiday, including Washington DC and Caroline County, Virginia, where the Lovings hailed from.
