Loving v. Virginia (1967), was a landmark civil rights case in which the US Supreme Court declared Virginia's law against interracial marriage unconstitutional. The Virginia statute was known as "The Racial Integrity Act." Today, "Defense of Marriage" laws attempt to deny the same right to same-sex couples.Hear Julian Bond and Pamela Horowitz and other interracial couples talk about the significance of this historic Supreme Court decision, and listen as they and other couples discuss the imperative to affirm and legally ensure the right of all couples to marry.
