In 1924, the Virginia General Assembly enacted the Racial Integrity Act. The act reinforced racial segregation by prohibiting interracial marriage and classifying as "white" a person "who has no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian." The act, an outgrowth of eugenist and scientific racist propaganda, was pushed by Walter Plecker, a white supremacist and eugenist who held the post of registrar of Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics.

  • Le 20 mars 1924, l'Assemblée générale de Virginie promulgua deux lois s'inscrivant dans le contexte des problématiques alors naissantes d'eugénisme et de « race. » La Loi sur l'intégrité raciale de 1924 faisait dès lors partie des lois visant à interdire les relations entre personnes de races différentes.
