The next case involving Mildred Loving a black woman, and Richard Loving a coccasion man, who had been sentenced to a year in the state of Virginia for marrying each other out of state and coming back into the state of Virginia. At the time it was a felony for a white person to intermarry with a black person or for a black to marry a white. Police officers obtained the two newlyweds marriage certificate as evidence. Spent a year and jail and got realeased and moved to Washington D.C. The two took the case to Supreme Court and found that the law was a violation of equal protection clause and to the due process of the fourteenth amendment. So what’s the issue today? State laws that outlaw interracial marriage violate the equal protection clause. So today its fair you should be able to love who you love not based off of what race one is. Holder V. Humanitarian law
