In 1959 the Virginia Circuit Court found Richard and Mildred Loving guilty of violating a state ban against interracial marriages. The couple was sentenced to one year in jail, which was lifted under the proviso that the two leave the state and not return for a period twenty-five years. The Lovings left their home and families in Virginia and moved to Washington D.C. where they were able to live together legally but were subject to racial taunting and limited opportunities. Nonetheless the Lovings endured and were vindicated by a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision—the case is known as Loving v. Virginia —on June 12, 1967. The ruling removed all state laws barring interracial marriage.
AJ Acevedo
As a young boy it was apparent to AJ that his love for flight would take him to places that people on terra firma dream about. In his adolescence he had recurring dreams of flying for years. No, not a helicopter or plane, just little AJ soaring over the verdure of a pastoral backdrop. As an adult he entered flight school, logging over one-hundred hours of flying time in a helicopter. When the money ran out AJ left without completing his certification, but the itch for flying never fizzled out. In preparation for Flightlutions AJ first logged over one-thousand hours using a virtual flight simulator to recreate the flying environment he would eventually inherit when using a RC helicopter. His intent after learning how to fly a RC helicopter was to mount a camera to it, merging another love, photography, with his first one.
