Students will learn about how interracial marriage remained illegal in the south, well into the1960's, specifically when it came to marriages between black and white Americans. They will learn about how the supreme court changed that forever in 1967 through the case of Loving V. the State of Virginia. Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving were an interracial couple who were thrown in jail for living as a married couple in a state where interracial marriage was illegal after getting legally married in a state where it was legal. Students will learn about the laws that surrounded this case, and how the Loving's were able to overcome the anti-miscegenation laws in the south and finally be together legally. We will have a discussion about why anti-miscegenation laws were unfair and how they affected interracial couples in America. We will also talk about how the ruling in Loving V. the state of Virginia affects interracial marriages today. This class will be very informative and it also connects to my other African American classes. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message. This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, as I love to give all students the time speak if they chose to do so.
