Virginia's plan to prevent marriages between persons only on the basis of racial class held to violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
In this thread lets talk about the waves Loving.v.Virginia case made in the United States at this time.
Virginia was acting unconstitutionally and they got demolished for it.

The wave started earlier in California.

>>In 1948, Andrea Perez, a white woman, and Sylvester Davis, an African American man, were denied a marriage license under California’s anti-miscegenation statute. The California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Perez couple by a narrow margin, 4-3, deeming anti-miscegenation legislation unreasonable and unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment. With the Perez v. Sharp case, California became the first state to repeal its anti-miscegenation laws following the Pace decision.

Cool cool.
It seems the Loving V Virginia set a precedent in the Southern States. Both cases are great though. Its a shame that two consenting adults who loved each other couldn't get married because of race. Also important to note the way the kids of these couples were regarded....shit man...right in the feels. Thanks for sharing that case...I never heard of it until today.
