Ruth Negga Profile on Vibe.com

Vibe.com's Shenequa Golding presents a lengthy Q+A with Ruth Negga that touches on how the themes and events in Loving relate to today's society.

When asked how the film will be received by "the social media generation that allegedly doesn't believe in relationships" Negga responds "I hope it speaks to them the same way it will speak to any human being. I think what this film is saying is we are capable of great kindness towards one another."

A fresh take on the classic Q+A can be read in its entirety at Vibe.com.

Loving TIFF Premiere

bio | Joel Edgerton is Richard Loving "They just wanted to love each other and have the right to love each other. And so the movie’s a love story first."
bio | Ruth Negga as Mildred Loving "People who are worried that no one will listen to them or that they don't have a voice, it just goes to show: everyone has a voice and everyone has the potential to change laws."
Photo | Uncommon Common Folk: Richard and Mildred Loving came from humble roots and likely could never imagined how they could make an impact for Civil Rights.
bio | Michael Shannon as Grey Villet
Photo | Sidney: The first of Richard and Mildred’s three children, Sidney Loving.

They weren’t martyrs, and didn’t want to be. They weren’t symbols, and didn’t want to be. They were two people in love who wanted to be with each other and their family.

All Love Is Created Equal

Photo | Devotion: On the Lovings’ contribution to the Civil Rights Movement, Ruth Negga said "I think everyone else underestimated their tenacity, their belief in themselves, their love for each other, and their respect for each other."
Photo | Inherent Rights: "When any society says that I cannot marry a certain person, that society has cut off a segment of my freedom." Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, c. 1958
Photo | Natural: "[Grey Villet] avoided posing his subjects, refused to manipulate the action and simply waited patiently for telling moments to emerge, in the belief that reality would supply more truth than any imposition of his own ego.”
