In 1966, interracial marriage was still illegal in many U.S. states, mostly across the South.
It wasn’t until 1967, with the landmark Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia, that these laws were struck down nationwide, affirming that marriage is a fundamental right for all, regardless of race.
Maryland and Delaware are surprising. I would’ve imagined they already would have been culturally shifted into their current Midatlantic culture that is liberal and progressive than their ancestral Southern culture
The South, cradle of American intolerance.
2026?
So what?
Last I checked, that was 60 years ago, we moved on, and shit got better.
when people say „what does the „south“ in American actually mean?“ i can show them this map.
And where it was legal it was still not tolerated by any side. Growing up in a disproportionately Italian American community on Long Island any parent would have a stroke if their child brought home someone of a different race but especially black.
Jesus, no wonder my grandma was so racist lol
I live in Missouri and my grandma was born in 1927.
I remember we were watching TV one time together (she was babysitting me while I was home sick) and some pharmaceutical commercial came on that had an interracial couple.
She was not happy lol
Would it make you feel better or worse to know that the other states were not far ahead? Ie California 1948
[Alabama didn’t officially make interracial marriage in the state legal on paper until *2000*, and over a third of those who voted opposed repealing the ban.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Alabama_Amendment_2)
Live in the present !
To my knowledge interracial marriage has been legal in Iowa since 1851.
One small interesting point on this map: Maryland DID have an anti-miscegenation law in 1966, but managed to sneak in repealing it in early 1967 before the Supreme Court delivered their opinion on *Loving v. Virginia* in June of that year
It was still stigmatized until Oswald went on the Fresh Prince.
when we look at it like this i feel America has historically not been as free as we think like , India had interracial marriage and equality for all before USA
all former slave states
coincidence? i think not
Make America Segregated Again – that’s what they really mean.
People will be people, life goes on, live and let live. We are only accountable for our own actions.
It’s always the same map
Pretty close to the same-sex marriage map in 2014
The only reason it was legal in Utah is that there are only white people there so it’s not a concern.
