The Church of Classic Rock Monday, June 12th, is the 50th anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia case. In 1967, the Supreme Court overturned the Virginia statue that prohibited marriage between couples of different races, thus moving civil rights forward a very large step! The Reverend Jeff Smith has the complete tale, including how we, as a nation, got to the point where such marriages were illegal, what happened in the case, the effects it still have on life in the 21st century, news of a historical marker being placed in Richmond, Virginia this year, and how the case is so very important personally! Plus, you can check out the playlist of classic rock songs heard in the broadcast version of the program at www.churchofclassicrock.org! Episode Playlist: June 11th, 2017 |
