The movie Loving is based on the legal case Loving v. Virginia. If you took Family Law, you already knew that. We've been waiting for it to be shown locally, and the wait is over! Grab a friend (or a bunch of friends) and head to Purdue, where you'll be able to see it for free!
Many thanks to the eagle-eyed Crystal Miller for finding this for us!
Asha :Purdue Global Film Fest presents "Loving" - a 2016 American historical drama film which tells the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, the plaintiffs in the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision Loving v.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
