The Loving Story: A Screening and Panel Discussion Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 7:00 to 9:00 PM Smithsonian American Art Museum National Portrait Gallery – McEvoy Auditorium 7th and G Streets, NW Washington, DC Metro: Gallery Place

The Loving Story, a documentary film directed by Nancy Buirski, investigates the lives of Mildred and Richard P. Loving, a black woman and white man who struggled to live as a married couple in the state of Virginia where, in 1958, interracial marriage was against the law. The Loving Story is co-produced by HBO Documentary Films and will be broadcast on HBO in February, 2012. A panel discussion including the film’s director and legal scholars will follow the screening. The film has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Because democracy demands wisdom.

Admission is free and on a first come, first serve basis.
