that any person can enter into marriage with a person of another race and the state cannot infringe upon that right. This ruling overturned laws in 16 laws. Just 58 yrs ago, inter-racial marriages were banned in many states. The state of Alabama in fact did not move to repeal its anti-miscegenation laws until the year 2000.
I just finished the HBO film on this case. The cars back then were made of steel and were quite cool.
