For example, historically, African Americans in the United States have experienced segregation through practices like [[racial segregation]] laws (Jim Crow laws) that enforced racial separation in schools, housing, transportation, and public facilities. This institutionalized system of segregation denied Black individuals equal rights and created separate and unequal living conditions.
Experienced segregation can have lasting impacts on individuals and communities, perpetuating social and economic disadvantages, limiting upward mobility, and fostering divisions and tensions within society. Efforts to combat and dismantle segregation require addressing systemic inequalities, promoting inclusivity, and fostering understanding and empathy among different groups.


Similarly, apartheid in South Africa from 1948-1994 is another notable example of experienced segregation. The government implemented a policy of racial segregation, separating races into different areas and denying non-white individuals access to certain opportunities and resources.
