Sanctioned segregation refers to the institutionalized practice of separating different racial or ethnic groups in society through laws, policies, or regulations. This form of segregation was commonly enforced in the United States during the Jim Crow era, where laws mandated the separation of public facilities, schools, housing, and other institutions based on race. This practice was eventually deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. However, the effects of sanctioned segregation continue to impact communities and societies today through ongoing racial disparities and inequalities.
