when did segregation laws end in the united states
Racial segregation in the United States Legal segregation of schools was stopped in the U.S. by federal enforcement of a series of Supreme Court decisions after Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. All legally enforced public segregation (segregation de jure) was abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[6] It passed after demonstrations during the Civil Rights Movement resulted in public opinion turning against legally-enforced segregation.
