A quick definition of interracial marriage:

Interracial marriage is when two people of different races get married. It used to be illegal in some places, but in 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional to ban it. Some states still had laws against it, but they were eventually repealed. Interracial marriage is also called mixed marriage.

A more thorough explanation:

Interracial marriage is when two people of different races get married. In the past, some places made it illegal for people of different races to get married. This was called miscegenation. However, in 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court said that these laws were unconstitutional. This means that it is now legal for people of different races to get married in all states.

For example, if a Black person and a White person get married, that is an interracial marriage. It could also be between a Hispanic person and an Asian person, or any other combination of races.

Interracial marriage is important because it shows that love and commitment can exist between people of different races. It helps to break down barriers and promote understanding between different cultures.
