Author: Patricia Hruby Powell Book Color: Purple
Book Genre: Nonfiction: Historical Summary: Richard and Mildred Loving are husband and wife, but their marriage is illegal in the 1950's and 60's, as Mildred is black and Richard is white. They must go through a series of trials and cases in order to live with each other freely in Virginia, and to prove their love is real. Personal Review: I really liked this book a lot, even if it was non-fiction! Richard and Mildred are some of the nicest people I've read about, and it's a shame that they had to go through jail, separate homes, and many trial cases in order to love freely. This really did happen. If you look them up, you will see that they made history. Recommendation: I would recommend this book for non-fiction readers, who like books with love intertwined in it, and who would like to learn more about the tough times during segregation for people of all ethnicities.
