McLaughlin v. Florida 379 U.S. 184 (1964) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a cohabitation law of Florida part of the state’s anti-miscegenation laws was unconstitutional. The law prohibited habitual cohabitation by two unmarried people of opposite sex if one is black and the other white. The decision overturned Pace v. Alabama (1883) which had declared such statutes constitutional.
