loving v. virginia, 388 u.s. 1 (1967), was a landmark decision of the u.s. supreme court which struck down all state laws banning interracial marriage as violations of the equal protection and due process clauses of the fourteenth amendment to the u.s. constitution. the case was brought by mildred loving (), a woman of color, and richard loving, a white man, who had been sentenced to a year in prison in virginia for marrying each other. their marriage violated virginia's racial integrity act of 1924, which criminalized marriage between people classified as "white" and people classified as "colored".
