Richard and Mildred Loving
When Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter married in 1958, they had no idea that, as an interracial couple, their union violated Virginia's Racial Integrity act of 1924. The Lovings were arrested, jailed, and exiled from Virginia. The ACLU argued against the law before the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled unanimously that the act was unconstitutional, nullifying similar laws in fifteen other states |
