We've lost that Loving

Mildred Loving died yesterday. She was a shy pioneer in the history of race in America. With her husband Richard she won the Loving vs. Virginia case that made interracial marriage legal in every state although Alabama was the last state to remove these laws from their books in 2000. In 2003 I made a work that included the Lovings called "Enter Race" and I have been wondering when or if I should revise it. It was originally a duet but when I went to grad school I reworked it as a solo with help from my fellow classmates. With Obama and Clinton racing for the White House now seems like a good time.
