Director Jeff Nichols used much of the real-life dialogue that was captured in @NancyBuirski's documentary, #TheLovingStory. Because of this, the @TheAcademy determined that #Loving should compete in the Adapted Screenplay category at the Oscars. #AFIMovieClub

The real-life U.S. Supreme Court decision of #Loving v. Virginia – argued on April 10, 1967, and decided June 12, 1967 – unanimously held that Virginia's "Racial Integrity Act of 1924," which forbade marriage between people of different races, was unconstitutional. #AFIMovieClub
