Loving Day: When the Supreme Court struck down interracial marriage bans

Loving Day, celebrated on June 12, marks the day the Supreme Court struck down state bans against interracial marriage . The day is named for the monumental case, Loving v. Virginia, and the interracial couple at its center, Richard and Mildred Loving. The 1967 Supreme Court decision struck down 16 state bans on interracial marriage as unconstitutional. "Over the long haul, it changes America," said Peter Wallenstein, author of "Race, Sex, and the Freedom to Marry: Loving v. Virginia." "It's just a stunning case." Loving Day has been officially recognized by a handful of states and cities including Virginia, Vermont, New York City and Los Angeles as well as civil rights organizations, like the Anti-Defamation League.

George Floyd: Criticism over Trump's Juneteenth Tulsa event

Friday marks a week from Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, President Donald Trump also plans to hold his first campaign rally since the COVID-19 pandemic began in Tulsa, Oklahoma , the site of one of the deadliest incidents of racist violence in American history. The 1921 white mob attack centered on a prominent black neighborhood known as "Black Wall Street," killing hundreds and leaving much of the area decimated. The decision to hold a rally in Tulsa follows the nationwide protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd, an African American man who died when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Coronavirus: California film, TV production could restart, if eligible

Film, TV and music production in California could restart as early as Friday, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom . However, resuming major productions seems ambitious, considering protocol approvals, the need for union agreements and the preparation time needed to put protections in place. "Music, TV and film production may resume in California … no sooner than June 12" depending on whether counties meet testing and case-level numbers and are prepared for surges, according to guidance from the state's Department of Public Health. Meanwhile, the alarming spread of COVID-19 in Arizona and other states have health officials increasingly worried about the number of cases requiring hospitalizations and warning of a potential second round of infections.

Vigil set for missing Idaho children after human remains found

A vigil honoring two Idaho children missing since September is planned Friday after authorities confirmed human remains were found on their step-father's property . The family members of Joshua "JJ" Vallow and Tylee Ryan told local media the two sets of human remains found at Chad Daybell's house were the children as authorities have yet to confirm their identities pending autopsies. "Both children are no longer with us," JJ's biological grandfather, Larry Woodcock, told the Post Register in Idaho Falls. Chad Daybell appeared in court Wednesday after his arrest on charges of concealing, altering or destroying evidence. Court documents allege Daybell concealed or aided in concealing the human remains that were found on his property.

Spike Lee's timely war epic 'Da 5 Bloods' streams on Netflix

When Spike Lee goes off to war, he comes back with a complex message of love. Lee's new film, "Da 5 Bloods," streaming Friday on Netflix, focuses on Vietnam with aging African American veterans returning to the battlefield to deal with brotherhood, old promises and injustice — both personal and racial. Like Lee's '70s-set "BlacKkKlansman" two years ago, "Bloods" weaves history lessons with gripping performances and a timely, thoughtful narrative, in this instance nodding to the Black Lives Matter era.

In better news: Celebrity kids say the darnedest things

Chrissy Teigen's daughter Luna is bidding her mom's "boobies" farewell.

The supermodel, 34, revealed on Instagram Thursday that she underwent surgery to have her breast implants removed. Teigen said her procedure "went perfectly," aside from some residual pain, and shared a special pick-me-up she received from her kids.

"So so so so so sore but waking up to this made it go away for half a minute at least," Teigen captioned a picture of her daughter's hilarious handwritten card.

In her best penmanship, Luna, 4 – Teigen's eldest child with singer John Legend – wrote: "Have fun pulling your boobies out." On the other side, Luna added: "Bye Boobies."

"The note I woke up to is the absolute best part," Teigen added on Twitter.
