When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty. ~Kahlil Gibran
There was a time when Virginia was not for lovers. That time was 1965, when an interracial married couple was arrested and put on trial for miscegenation. The couple's names were Richard and Mildred Loving. The film, The Loving Story , is based on a LIFE magazine article that was photographed by Grey Villet. Barbara Villet, Grey's wife is quoted in a NY Times article to say:
"Grey did not concern himself with those entanglements. He chose, as he did in every essay we ever worked on together, to seek out the literal heart of the matter: a love story."
Love is stronger than hate, and justice, even though blind can see that.
