David and Eric Eric and David married nearly 5 decades after the Supreme Court decision that legalized interracial marriage, but just a year after another Court ruling that made same-sex marriages like theirs legal across the United States. Eric is black, and grew up in a black neighborhood in Baltimore. David is white and grew up in a small town in Oregon; the couple met in Philadelphia. In this episode of the Loving Project, Eric and David talk about faith, falling in love, and coming to terms with the role race plays in their relationship with each other, with the world, and with the child they hope to raise together one day.
