CommonLit: LOVING DECISION: 40 YEARS OF LEGAL INTERRACIAL UNIONS Ms. Mulligan

Loving v. Virginia was a landmark civil rights case in 1967, in which the Supreme Court determined that laws that prohibited interracial marriage were invalid. This informational text further discusses the interracial couple that fought for the legality of their marriage and won. As you read, take notes on how the text portrays Mildred and Richard Loving and their decision to challenge their guilty sentence. This week marks the 40th anniversary of a seminal1 moment in the civil rights movement: the legalization of interracial marriage. But the couple at the heart of the landmark Supreme Court case of Loving v. Virginia never intended to be in the spotlight. On June 12, 1967, the nation’s highest court voted unanimously to overturn the conviction of Richard and Mildred Loving, a young interracial couple from rural Caroline County, Va.

Common Lit BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: 'COLORISM' IN THE CARIBBEAN next due 2/28 Ms. Mulligan

In this interview, Michel Martin discusses Frances Robles’s report on colorism in the Dominican Republic. Colorism is a form of prejudice based on the darkness of a person’s skin color. Discrimination based on colorism often occurs within the same racial or ethnic group. Robles discusses how colorism impacts people in the Dominican Republic, as well as the root causes for these mindsets.   As you read, take notes on how racial identity is determined in the Dominican Republic. The hierarchy1 of skin color — black, brown, dark-skinned, light-skinned — has long been a source of division within African American communities. But it’s not just an American thing. Miami Herald reporter Frances Robles talks about her recent report on “colorism” in the Dominican Republic. MICHEL MARTIN, host: I’m Michel Martin, and this is Tell Me More from NPR News. Later on the program: He risked his life to bring stories from the frontline of the civil rights movement. But he’s never told his own stor
