Loving Week, hosted by the Association of Mixed Students, featured a series of events that kicked off Monday in commemoration of the 1967 landmark Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia.

Washington University’s Loving Week began Monday with a table full of cupcakes, though the week—which culminates on Valentine’s Day—is about more than just sweets. Loving Week, which is hosted by the student group Association of Mixed Students and several other cultural groups, is a celebration of the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v.

Imagine a world without Barack Obama, Derek Jeter and Shakira. Students gathered in college hall Friday night for the Loving Day Banquet, to celebrate the Loving v. Virginia case, which allowed the parents of these celebrities and other interracial couples in America to legally marry.
