When Jacob Lawrence made this painting in 1963, marriage between people of different races was still illegal in many states. That same year, an interracial couple represented by the American Civil Liberties Union began a legal battle (Loving v. Virginia) that eventually ended such discriminatory laws on the federal level. By portraying two interracial couples in wedding attire and labeling the scene “Taboo,” Lawrence draws attention to the cultural bias and legal inequity. “Taboo,” 1963, by Jacob Lawrence © The Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation, Seattle / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
