My parents - Black mother, white father - were married only two years after the #LovingVVirginia decision.

Loving Day - Wikipedia

#Race being a #SocialConstruct never stopped its use as a #DivideAndRule tactic. It was not until 1967 on #ThisDayInHistory that #interracial marriage was legalized in the #LovingVVirginia #SCOTUS ruling that overturned anti-#miscegenation laws in the US.
Happy #LovingDay, folks.

Today, June 12, 2024, marks the 57th anniversary of the #LovingVVirginia case, which made interracial marriage legal across the US. People tend to forget that this is something that happened in our lifetimes. My husband was just 3 months old. #LovingDay
I will be curious to see the majority or concurring opinion by by #clarencethomas when the #supremecourt overturns #lovingvvirginia . They will of course need to clarify that all existing marriages are legal but states may decide whether any new marriages will be. But they will surely go after #brownvboardofeducation first.

June 12th: In a unanimous decision, The United States Supreme Court rules in favor of the Lovings in Loving v. Virginia, making state laws prohibiting interracial marriage unconstitutional.

In 1967.

NH guarantees interracial marriage rights in state law with new Marital Freedom Act

Though already legal under U.S. Supreme Court precedent, the billโ€™s sponsor says enshrining protections into state law sends a message.

Nobody wants to openly talk about how Malcolm X was just as Black as Barack Obama, cuz everybody has feewings and butterflies in their stomach thinking about adults of different races bumping uglies.
