Ends: Jun 12, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
June 12, 1967, is the day Americans finally became free to marry whom they wanted regardless of race, origin or faith as a result of the landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Loving vs. Virginia. Previous interracial marriage laws were now void.
Mildred Loving, a black woman, married Richard Perry Loving, a white man. In Virginia, such union was deemed criminal due to the anti-miscegenation statute (that a white person cannot marry a black person) of the said state, which resulted to Richard Loving sentenced to a year in prison. The couple was married in Washington DC to be spared of the Racial Integrity Act of 1924. However, the couple returned to Central Point, Virginia where the police raided their home while the Loving's were sleeping.
In the initial trial, Leon M. Bazile reiterated the 18-century meaning of race. On January 6. 1959, the Loving's were sentenced to a year in prison after pleading guilty. A 25-year sentence was suspended on the condition that the couple leave Virginia. They moved to the District of Columbia.
In 1964, the Loving's wrote to the Attorney General Robert Kennedy who forwarded their case to ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). The civil rights group filed a brief stating the statutes were counter the Fourteenth Amendment. On this day in 1967, the US Supreme Court found that the previous conviction was invalid and discriminatory due to the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
