Loving Day in The Media
A documentary, The Loving Story, which features rare contemporaneous photographs of the couple and details the history of the case and references Loving Day, is premiering on HBO on Valentine's Day 2012.
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.

Famous quotes containing the words loving, day and/or media:
“Eventually we will learn that the loss of indivisible love is another of our necessary losses, that loving extends beyond the mother-child pair, that most of the love we receive in this world is love we will have to share—and that sharing begins at home, with our sibling rivals.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“every day they die
Among us, those who were doing us some good,
And knew it was never enough but
Hoped to improve a little by living.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
