Film Screening: “Loving” viewing with Phi Alpha Theta

Based on a true story, Loving follows Richard and Mildred Loving, an ordinary couple whose marriage became the center of a landmark Supreme Court case that helped reshape civil rights in the United States. Set against the backdrop of 1960s America, the film blends an intimate love story with a powerful fight for justice, showing how one couple’s quiet courage challenged unjust laws and changed history.
