3. Of the lessons we can learn from Loving's couple, Negga told Elle in an interview: "I think events of the moment that are happening all around the world, not just in America, are really demanding more of a kindness for one another and more of an empathy for one another, and this couple shows that we have every reason to be hopeful about humanity because they're such a beautiful, hopeful, loving, kind couple.
