    06/12/1967 - Case of Loving v. Virginia

    The U.S. Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia declared Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage unconstitutional on June 12, 1967. The court ruled that the ban violated the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and that the freedom to marry is a fundamental right that cannot be restricted by a state on the basis of race. The case marked a significant moment in the civil rights movement and has had far-reaching implications for anti-miscegenation laws and interracial relationships.
