Definition

De jure racial segregation refers to the legally enforced separation of different racial or ethnic groups in society. This type of segregation is codified in laws and regulations that explicitly dictate where people of different races can live, work, attend school, and socialize. De jure racial segregation was prevalent in the United States prior to the Civil Rights Movement, with laws such as Jim Crow laws mandating separate facilities for white and black people. This system of segregation was eventually declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education.
