Directed by Nancy Burski. Produced by Nanc y Burski and Elisabeth Haviland James. Writers Nancy Burski and Susie Ruth Powell. Cinematography by Rex Miller\, Steve Milligan and Abbott Mills. O riginal Music David Majzun. \nMildred and Richard Loving knew it was techn ically illegal for them to live as a married couple in Virginia because sh e was of African American and Native American descent and he was white. Bu t they never expected to be woken up in their bedroom and arrested one nig ht in 1958. The documentary brings to life the Lovings' marriage and the l egal battle that followed through little-known filmed interviews and photo graphs shot for Life magazine. \nThe film narrates the lives of Mildred an d Richard Loving and their fight for the recognition of their marriage\, a ll the way to the Supreme Court. The film's immediacy derives from the inc lusion of little-known footage dating from the 1960s depicting the daily l ife of the couple and their three children while they were in hiding in a house in Virginia. \n\n\nLocation: Black History Museum\, 902 Wythe St.\nC ontact Phone: 703.746.4356 \nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Black Hist ory Museum\, Museums\, Old & Historic Alexandria\, Parker Gray\n\nImport t his event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.a spx?id=1&si=11415 DTEND:20150924T193000Z DTSTAMP:20150831T164751Z DTSTART:20150924T180000Z GEO:38.812083;-77.048042 LOCATION:Black History Museum\, 902 Wythe St. SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Free Documentary Screenings TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:2c46aea0-054e-4b5a-b972-ec9fae3f23ad X-COA-DTSTAMP:20150831T164751Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
