Interracial marriage is an interesting subject in the United States because of the particular history of this issue in this country. Some forms of interracial marriage were illegal during segregation and Jim Crow. As late as 1967 marriage between blacks and whites were illegal in some areas until the case of Loving vs Virginia struck down remaining laws against interracial unions.
An obituary titled "Quiet Va. Wife Ended Interracial Marriage Ban" written by Patricia Sullivan May 6, 2008 and published in the Washington Post chronicles the life of Mildred Loving who had passed away. Mildred Jeter was a young black woman that married a white man named Richard Loving. Their marriage in Virginia was illegal in 1967 and led to the Supreme Court overturning laws that banned interracial marriage in the United States.

Since 1967 things have changed and different ethnic groups have reached out to each other and walked down the aisle together in increasing numbers. Some groups are marrying outside of their racial group more than others. An article titled "Interracial marriage: more than double the rate in the 1980s" written by Husna Haq June 4, 2010 and published in The Christian Science Monitor goes into the composition and percentages of which groups are marrying outside of their racial groups.
