Loving Day - A Celebration of Freedom with Cornelia Brown
#ChoosetoChallenge #LovingDay #LaWannaBradford
Choose to Challenge | Loving Day – A Celebration of Freedom
Join us for ""Loving Day - A Celebration of Freedom"" on e360TV.com, streaming live on Facebook and LinkedIn on Monday, June 5, 2023 at 6PM ET. Hosted by LaWanna Bradford, this special event brings together voices of change and empowerment.
In a time not so long ago, the United States saw interracial marriages banned in most states. Can you imagine? The simple act of loving someone was deemed illegal, and that person found themselves a victim of societal pressures and laws aimed at preserving so-called racial purity.
These archaic laws were born in the late 17th century, as many states passed anti-miscegenation laws, denying the union of individuals from different races. But let's remember, these laws did not blanket the entire nation. Some states never fell under their grip, and restrictions varied from place to place.
Thankfully, the strength of love and the power of justice prevailed. Courageous individuals challenged these discriminatory laws, fighting for the rights of all to love freely. The tide began to turn, and through years of activism and legal battles, the walls of prejudice started to crumble.
Then, in 1967, a landmark decision forever changed the course of history. The U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia ruled anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional, finally bringing love and equality to the forefront.
Join us as we commemorate this journey of love and liberation. LaWanna Bradford will be joined by the inspiring Cornelia ""Connie"" Brown, who will share her experiences and insights. Together, let's celebrate the triumph over systemic racism and honor the resilience of those who paved the way for a more inclusive society.
Don't miss ""Loving Day - A Celebration of Freedom"" on e360TV.com, streaming live on Facebook and LinkedIn. It's a testament to love's victory over prejudice and a reminder that love knows no bounds.

Bryan Martin (Also known as Sealionbryan) is a marine biologist, educator, author and widower. He achieved his Marine Biology degree for Salem University in Massachusetts and had an extremely successful career in animal care as an animal trainer and Director of Animal Care. In 2018, he lost his partner Clayton to a terminal illness just 10 months after his father passed away.
The storm of the first two years led into a pandemic and Bryan was trapped alone in his widowed world. He could feel the loneliness and depression sinking in. Watching others post about their pandemic grief reminded him of the start his grief journey. He had the choice to just give in or take hold of the gift we all have inside - the ability to generate joy. Bryan quickly learned he could use that gift to fight the darkness and started to dance on social media.
Bryan began to share his widowed blog to show there is hope and that there would be smiles in their future. His first book is the collection of social media posts, blog posts, insights and reflections written from when his partner Clayton passed away until they were able to have funeral 4 years later. It contains the writings as is without grammatical edits and sentence structure corrections because grief writes as it feels, corrections would dilute the honesty and authenticity.
