HOW FAR HAVE WE COME AS A SOCIETY SINCE 1957.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WARREN delivered the opinion of the Court on the interacial mariage between Richard and Mildred loving
"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
Section 20-59, which defines the penalty for miscegenation, provides: "Punishment for marriage.—If any white person intermarry with a colored person, or any colored person intermarry with a white person, he shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five years."
