53 years ago, Mildred and Richard Loving made history when the Supreme Court ruled that all interracial marriage bans were unconstitutional. It was a landmark decision that struck down laws that restricted Americans from loving one another.

They risked their lives for their love and they should be honored not just today, but every day. That is why I'm publicly asking that the Virginia government change the name of the Jefferson Davis Highway to the Mildred and Richard Loving Highway.

People would see that we are proud of our citizens fighting for what is right. They would see that Virginia welcomes them from wherever they come from. No matter who they are, they’ve found a place they can call home. They would see Virginia is for lovers.

When someone's name is publicly memorialized, the naming isn’t just about that person. It’s about all the people that see that name. The names of Mildred and Richard Loving deserve to be there. Not just to honor what they did, but because of what their names mean to all of us.
