Virginia, which struck down laws banning interracial marriage. UT history professor Jacqueline Jones and Syracuse University law professor Kevin Noble Maillard will join director Jeff Nichols to examine the historical origins of anti-miscegenation laws in the United States and the struggles to overturn them.
