Two local residents reflect on the impact of a landmark civil rights case on their own lives. Sophia Travis and Eric Love are both children of interracial marriages, so for them the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia is personal. This decision legalized interracial marriage and ended all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States. Loving Day celebrations commemorate the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia. Bloomington's celebration is examined along with the broader implications of the Loving v. Virginia decision. Also in this program: our featured musical artist is the legendary Booker T. Jones, who has just recorded his first solo album in twenty years. Hear an exclusive interview with Booker T. recorded on-location at last weekend’s Bonnaroo Festival by WFHB music director Jim Manion. As always Bring It On! features regional and national headline news and a regional calendar highlighting events relevant to the local African-American community. Hosted by Jim Sims and Beverly Calender-Anderson.
