Caroline County board adopts resolution recognizing Richard and Mildred Loving
Summary
The board unanimously adopted a resolution celebrating Richard and Mildred Loving and the inclusion of the Caroline County Historic Courthouse Campus on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail, including placement of a historical marker at the courthouse campus.
The Caroline County Board of Supervisors on May 12 adopted a resolution honoring Richard and Mildred Loving and recognizing the county courthouse campus’ inclusion on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail.
Jeff Seeley read the resolution, saying it “celebrat[es] the courage and perseverance of Richard and Mildred Loving through the inclusion of the Caroline County Historic Courthouse Campus in The United States Civil Rights Trail.” The resolution notes the couple’s role in the 1967 Loving v. Virginia U.S. Supreme Court decision and authorizes commemorative signage and continued preservation of the courthouse campus in Bowling Green.
Board members spoke in support of the resolution. A trustee recalled Mildred Loving as “the sweetest person I knew,” and the resolution was adopted without objection. The document was signed by the clerk of the board and the chairman and will be used to guide placement of an informational marker and related public-history materials.
The action places Caroline County’s courthouse campus among other sites on the Civil Rights Trail and signals the county’s intent to preserve and interpret the Loving legacy for visitors and residents.
