Historical Overview

• Miscegenation v. Racial Purity
• By mid 1800s every State had enacted
  miscegenation laws
• Loving v. Virginia (1967)
• Almighty God created the races white, black,
  yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on
  separate continents. And but for the interference
  with his arrangement there would be no cause for
  such marriages. The fact that he separated the
  races shows that he did not intend for the races
  to mix (Trial Judge)
