Loving
Interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving fell in love and were married in 1958. They grew up in Central Point, a small town in Virginia that was more integrated than surrounding areas in the American South. Yet it was the state of Virginia, where they were making their home and starting a family, that first jailed and then banished them. Richard and Mildred relocated with their children to the inner city of Washington, D.C., but the family ultimately tries to find a way back to Virginia.
We invite everyone to join us in watching this film and further discuss the modern view of interracial dating. We will be showing this movie on Saturday, April 27th from 1 - 4 PM at the Puerto Rico/ Latin American Cultural Center.
MIXED is a Student Run Program that caters to students who are interested or identify as being mixed. This includes students who are mixed ethnically, racially, religiously as well as adopted students. However, we want to help ALL students understand that just being them is enough. MIXED programming seeks to enhance students experiences here at UCONN by giving them an avenue to explore their own rich diversity. We provide the tools and support students need to create events, art and lead others.
