Definition
State-mandated segregation refers to laws, regulations, or policies that require the separation of individuals or groups based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, or religion. This type of segregation was widespread in the United States during the Jim Crow era, when laws mandated separate facilities for white and black individuals in public spaces such as schools, restaurants, and public transportation. State-mandated segregation has been widely condemned as discriminatory and unjust, and most such laws have been overturned through legal challenges or legislation.
