Loving v. Virginia
nIn upholding the constitutionality of these provisions. . . the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia referred to its 1955 decision in Naim v. Naim…. In Naim, the
state court concluded that the
State's legitimate purposes were “to preserve
the racial integrity of its citizens,” and to prevent “the corruption of blood,” “a mongrel breed of citizens,” and “the obliteration of racial pride,” obviously an endorsement of the doctrine of White Supremacy.
