Definition

Black Anglo segregation refers to the historical separation and exclusion of Black individuals or communities within predominantly white Anglo areas. This form of segregation was prevalent during the period of Jim Crow laws in the United States, which enforced racial segregation and discrimination.

During this time, Black individuals were legally prohibited from residing, working, or attending schools in white Anglo neighborhoods. Black neighborhoods often had limited resources, inferior public services, and unequal educational opportunities. Black individuals faced systemic racism and social, economic, and political marginalization as a result of this segregation.

While legal segregation has been abolished in the United States, the effects of Black Anglo segregation can still be seen today. Residential segregation persists in many American cities, with predominantly Black neighborhoods experiencing higher poverty rates, limited access to quality education, and increased police presence. These inequalities contribute to a cycle of disadvantage and perpetuate racial disparities. Overcoming the legacy of Black Anglo segregation requires addressing systemic racism and implementing policies that promote equality and inclusion.
