- catalog abstract "Publisher Description (unedited publisher data) In 1958, a few weeks after Richard and Mildred Loving got married in Washington, DC, they were arrested one night in their Virginia bedroom for the crime of interracial marriage. Sentenced to one year in jail, the couple was told the sentence would be suspended if they left the state and did not return for 25 years. The Lovings moved to Washington, DC but in 1963 they went back to court to challenge the Virginia miscegenation law. Four years later, in 1967, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the law was unconstitutional, thus outlawing miscegenation laws in Virginia and the 15 other states that had maintained such laws for as long as 300 years. In this sweeping and often harrowing history of how states had the power to determine who one could and could not marry, Peter Wallenstein explores how miscegenation laws were closely linked to attitudes toward race at different times and places.".
