Central Point is an unincorporated community in Caroline County, in the U.S. state of Virginia.

In this small community people shared their lives and work, and the couple fell in love.

In 1958 they married in Washington, D.C., but returned here to live, thus violating state law against interracial marriages.

They were arrested and charged, and forced to leave the state for 25 years to avoid being jailed.

Their case reached the US Supreme Court, where in Loving v. Virginia (1967), the state's anti-miscegenation law was overturned for violating the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects due process and equal rights under the law.
