Loving (2006) Inspired by the 1967 Supreme Court Case, Loving v. Virginia, that overturned this nation’s last anti-miscegenation law, Kina examines issues of color in black and white. Kina drew life-size charcoal portraits of ten “Bi-Racial Baby Boomers” as representative of the larger mixed race community and movement in the United States.
