(in the United States, anti-miscegenation laws were U.S. state laws banning interracial marriage, mainly forbidding marriage between non-whites and whites)

(“Loving Day” is not an officially recognized holiday by the U.S. government, but there was a movement to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to make it so)

(“Loving Day” is the biggest multiracial celebration in the United States)
