Loving v. Virginia was a landmark civil rights case in the United States that dealt with interracial marriage. The case was brought before the Supreme Court in 1967 by Richard and Mildred Loving, a Black woman and a white man who had married in Washington, D.C. but were arrested in Virginia for violating the state's anti-miscegenation laws.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the Lovings, declaring that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. This decision struck down anti-miscegenation laws in 16 states, helping to pave the way for greater racial equality and the recognition of interracial marriages across the country.

The Loving v. Virginia case was a significant step forward in the civil rights movement and remains a powerful symbol of the fight against discrimination and bigotry based on race. It serves as a reminder of the importance of love and equality in the quest for justice and human rights.
