| Sumario: | In 1967, the US Supreme Court ruled that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional in Loving volume Virginia. Although this case promotes marital freedom and racial equality, there are still significant legal and social barriers to the free formation of intimate relationships.
