Segregation is the practice of separating people based on their race, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics. It has been a common form of discrimination throughout history, with segregation laws existing in many countries, including the United States during the Jim Crow era.

Learning about segregation involves understanding the historical context in which it occurred, the impact it had on individuals and communities, and the ways in which it has been challenged and overcome. This includes studying the civil rights movement, the role of activists and leaders in the fight against segregation, and the ongoing struggles for equality and social justice.

Educating oneself about segregation also involves reflecting on how these injustices continue to manifest in contemporary society, from housing discrimination to disparities in education and employment. By learning about segregation, individuals can work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
