Editing Illegal segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Illegal segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals or groups based on their race, color, religion, national origin, or other protected characteristics in a manner that is prohibited by law. In many countries, including the United States, segregation based on race was prevalent during different periods of history. However, various laws and court decisions have deemed such segregation illegal. In the United States, for example, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent court rulings made segregation in public facilities, such as schools and public transportation, unlawful.
