Loving v. Virginia, 388 US 1 (1967)
The Lovings were an interracial married couple (Mildred and Richard Perry Loving) who were charged for cohabitating in the state of Virginia, a state that outlawed interracial marriage (They were married in DC before returning to Virginia). Their marriage license was actually used against them in the case that went all the way to the US Supreme Court.
Then in 1967, 8 years after their arrest, the Court overturned the law.
