Bob Mondello's Piece on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and the Supreme Court Case: Loving v. Virginia

National Public Radio's Bob Mondello did a feature piece June 12th devoted to the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner as well as several other movies that explore the theme of race relations, on the anniversary of the Supreme Court case that struck down Virginia's statute against interracial marriage. The case was Loving v. Virginia (388 U.S. 1; 87 S. Ct. 1817; 18 L. Ed. 2d 1010; 1967 U.S. LEXIS 1082 (1967)). Remember that Star Trek: The Original Series broke ground in the episode "Plato's Stepchildren" with television's first interracial kiss (aired November 22, 1968).
