Valentine's Day + Black History + Homeschool Student = ?

What do you get when you add Valentine's Day + Black History Month + a Homeschool Student?  Well last month I decided that I wanted to do something special for Valentine's Day and Black History Month, so I partnered with homeschooled artist Keala Venema (one of Jayda's friends). Keala is a senior in high school and together we  produced the "Love Knows No Color" product series in my gift shop. 

I wanted to bring awareness and acknowledgment in particular to inter-racial couples because at one point in our country's history this type of union was illegal.

The art piece "Loving" and "Love is Love" is to honor the story of Richard and Mildred Loving, the plaintiffs in the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court (the Warren Court) decision Loving v. Virginia, which invalidated state laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

We all owe so much to those who fought for the rights that we have today!
​
And if you haven't seen the movie, "Loving" check it out on Netflix--it's so good!
