Legally entrenched segregation refers to segregation that is officially sanctioned and enforced by laws and government policies. This type of segregation was prevalent in the United States during the period of Jim Crow laws, which mandated the separation of white and black individuals in public spaces, schools, and housing. These laws enforced racial discrimination and maintained white supremacy, creating a system where black individuals were systematically denied opportunities and equal treatment in society. Legally entrenched segregation was abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. | Legally entrenched segregation refers to segregation that is officially sanctioned and enforced by laws and government policies.
