The "Loving" Story


When a man loves a woman-I mean, REALLY loves a woman,
there is absolutely nothing he wouldn't do to be with her.

Sometimes he has to make sacrifices.
-Like putting her wants above his own.

Sometimes he has to make tough decisions.
-Like allowing her to leave so he can get her back.
 (Ok, that one was personal)

But sometimes, he has to be willing to risk everything he has,
including his life.

If you're not familiar with the "Story" of Richard and Mildred Story, it goes like this:
A white man in 1950s Virgina, falls in love with a black woman.
They get married and have children.
But there's a problem.
As you can imagine, interracial marriages were illegal back then.
But this white man loved this black woman so much, that he was willing to risk it all.

The documentary airs on HBO tonight at 8pm cst.
Here's a clip of the "Story".

  1. This was such a great story of real love. He didn't think twice about separation. It was all or nothing. More people need to adopt their mindset for marriage in general (not just interracial). "Ride or die... til the end"
