The Supreme Court unanimously held that laws banning interracial marriage violated the Equal Protection Clause and Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment[2]. The case involved Mildred Loving, a Black woman, and Richard Loving, a white man, who were convicted under Virginia's Racial Integrity Act[2]. This decision struck down anti-miscegenation laws in 16 states, ending legal barriers to interracial marriage nationwide[2].
