Newlyweds Corbett Leatherwood, left, of Manassas, Va., and Michele Davis, kiss during a photo session for their wedding photographer after passing through the 16th Street area that was renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza, Friday, June 12, 2020, near the White House in Washington, the site of protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis. Floyd died after being restrained by Minneapolis police officers. The couple were married outside of the Supreme Court earlier in the day, on the 53rd anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court case which legalized interracial marriage in the United States. "The message we are spreading is that love wins in the midst of all the bad things happening," says Davis, "being able to get married today and then come down here where people are fighting racial injustice was very important to us."
