110TH CONGRESS

H. RES. 431 
Recognizing the 40th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia legalizing interracial 
marriage within the United States. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MAY 23, 2007 
Ms. BALDWIN (for herself and Mr. LEWIS of Georgia) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the 40th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia 
legalizing interracial marriage within the United States. 
Whereas the first anti-miscegenation law in the United States 
was enacted in Maryland in 1661; 
Whereas miscegenation was typically a felony under State 
laws prohibiting interracial marriage punishable by im-
prisonment or hard labor; 
Whereas in 1883, the Supreme Court held in Pace v. Ala-
bama that anti-miscegenation laws were consistent with 
the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment as 
long as the punishments given to both white and black 
violators are the same; 
Whereas in 1912, a constitutional amendment was proposed 
in the House of Representatives prohibiting interracial

marriage ‘‘between negroes or persons of color and Cau-
casians’’; 
Whereas in 1923, the Supreme Court held in Meyer v. Ne-
braska that the due process clause of the 14th Amend-
ment guarantees the right of an individual ‘‘to marry, es-
tablish a home and bring up children’’; 
Whereas in 1924, Virginia enacted the Racial Integrity Act 
of 1924, which required that a racial description of every 
person be recorded at birth and prevented marriage be-
tween ‘‘white persons’’ and non-white persons; 
Whereas in 1948, the California Supreme Court overturned 
the State’s anti-miscegenation statutes, thereby becoming 
the first State high court to declare a ban on interracial 
marriage unconstitutional and making California the first 
State to do so in the 20th century; 
Whereas the California Supreme Court stated in Perez v. 
Sharp that ‘‘a member of any of these races may find 
himself barred from marrying the person of his choice 
and that person to him may be irreplaceable. Human 
beings are bereft of worth and dignity by a doctrine that 
would make them as interchangeable as trains’’; 
Whereas by 1948, 38 States still forbade interracial mar-
riage, and 6 did so by State constitutional provision; 
Whereas in June of 1958, 2 residents of the Commonwealth 
of Virginia—Mildred Jeter, a black/Native American 
woman, and Richard Perry Loving, a Caucasian man— 
were married in Washington, DC; 
Whereas upon their return to Virginia, Richard Perry Loving 
and Mildred Jeter Loving were charged with violating 
Virginia’s anti-miscegenation statutes, a felonious crime;

Whereas Pasqualine J. Lawson, of Denver, Colorado, honor-
ably served in the Army Air Corps from July 29, 1944, 
to January 2, 1946; 
Whereas Ms. Lawson, while in the Army Air Corps, served 
as a psychiatric social worker following basic training; 
Whereas despite the efforts of and directives from the mili-
tary to incorporate African Americans into the Army Air 
Corps during World War II, many commanders neverthe-
less demonstrated an unwillingness to treat African 
Americans with full equality; 
Whereas the policy of ‘‘separate but equal’’ in the Army Air 
Corps during World War II oftentimes led to second-class 
citizenship for African Americans, resulting in fewer op-
portunities for advancement for African Americans and 
an unwillingness to promote African Americans to a high-
er military rank when such a promotion was due; 
Whereas Ms. Lawson was passed over and denied promotion 
several times, notwithstanding her receipt of a total of 
eight letters of commendation by the time of her dis-
charge from military service; 
Whereas in a letter of commendation, dated December 7, 
1945, Captain Ian N. J. Fogeling, stated that Ms. 
Lawson performed her work in a superior manner and 
that she had been ‘‘repeatedly recommended for well-de-
served promotions . . . and despite our having repeatedly 
recommended her, these were not forthcoming due to ad-
ministrative difficulties and technicalities entirely outside

Records Center in 1973; 
Whereas Ms. Lawson has requested a correction of her mili-

that her military record was incomplete and Ms. 
Lawson’s appeal of this ruling to the Assistant Secretary

resentatives that Pasqualine J. Lawson of Denver, Colo-

was unfairly passed over for promotion and should have 
held the grade of technical sergeant, rather than private
