The central theme of the text is to show how the Lovings' challenge and the wrongful conviction they had resulted in the right of other interracial couples to marry.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The text tells the story of Robert and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple who were convicted and imprisoned in Caroline County.
  • That's because they got married in Washington, where interracial marriage was allowed, and when they returned to Caroline County, their home region, they were arrested, because there, marriage was considered illegal.
  • They had to move to Washington to be able to live in freedom, but that was not a good situation as their family and friends live in Caroline County, which they couldn't enter.
  • For this reason, they had to fight in court for the right to have their marriage recognized throughout the country.

The Lovings didn't aim to make this challenge national, they just wanted to have the right to be a normal couple, but the legal fight they got involved in resulted in the right of other interracial couples to marry. This is the central idea of ​​the text.

This question is related to the text "Living Decision: 40 years of legal interracial union."
