The James Farmer Scholars program will be hosting a private screening of “Loving,” a film about an “interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving, who fell in love and were married in 1958. They grew up in Central Point, a small town in Virginia that was more integrated than surrounding areas in the American South. Yet it was the state of Virginia, where they were making their home and starting a family, that first jailed and then banished them,” according to a release from Focus Features. The screening will take place Dec. 11, 2016, at Regal Cinema Fredericksburg 14 from 2:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion will open ticket sales to all JFS members and to all members of the UMW community.
