National Loving Day
Each year, National Loving Day on June 12th commemorates the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving vs. Virginia. All anti-miscegenation laws that were unveiled in sixteen U.S. states were struck down by this decision. There can be no doubt that banning marriage solely because of racial groups in violation of the equal protection clause, the judge said. In the United States, anti-miscegenation laws were established as part of state legislation prohibiting interracial marriage.
