===== Date and country of first publication<ref>Date and country of first publication as informed by the Scopus database (December 2023).</ref>===== 1997<br> Italia ===== Definition ===== Historical segregation refers to the systemic separation of individuals or groups based on their race, ethnicity, religion, or other social characteristics. This practice was prominent in many societies, particularly in the United States, during the 19th and 20th centuries. In the United States, historical segregation was enforced through laws and regulations known as "Jim Crow" laws. These laws mandated separate public facilities for White and African American individuals, including separate schools, restrooms, restaurants, and transportation. Black individuals were subjected to widespread discrimination, violence, and economic disadvantages, perpetuating a deeply unequal society. Historical segregation was also prevalent in South Africa under apartheid, a system of racial segregation and discrimination. This system was enforced by the National Party and institutionalized racial divides through legislation and policies that restricted the rights and freedoms of non-White citizens. The apartheid regime only ended in 1994, following years of protests and international pressure. Historical segregation was not limited to racial divisions. For example, in Nazi Germany, Jews were segregated, oppressed, and ultimately targeted for extermination during the Holocaust. They were stripped of their rights, forcibly removed from their homes, and subjected to violence and mass murder. Over time, significant efforts have been made to dismantle historical segregation. In the United States, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s played a crucial role in challenging and overturning segregationist policies. The landmark Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education (1954), declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Similarly, in South Africa, the introduction of democratic governance and the efforts of anti-apartheid activists led to the end of the apartheid system. While legal segregation has been formally abolished in many countries, the impacts of historical segregation still persist in social, economic, and educational disparities. Addressing these lingering effects and promoting equality for all remains an ongoing challenge in many societies. ===== Synonyms ===== The following terms are synonymous with historical segregation: historic segregation.
