Loving v. Virginia

On May 22, 2024


Loving v. Virginia was a landmark civil rights case in which the Supreme Court ruled that laws banning interracial marriage were unconstitutional. The case involved Richard and Mildred Loving, a white man and a black woman who were married in Washington, D.C. but were arrested in Virginia for violating the state's anti-miscegenation laws. The Supreme Court's decision in 1967 not only invalidated these laws in Virginia and 15 other states, but also set a precedent for the protection of the right to marry regardless of race. This case was a significant step forward in the fight for civil rights and equality, and it played a crucial role in dismantling institutionalized racism and discrimination in the United States. Loving v. Virginia remains a symbol of the ongoing struggle for marriage equality and the recognition of all forms of love and partnership.
