Definition[edit | edit source]

Court declared segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals based on their race, typically enforced by laws or legal rulings. This form of segregation was prevalent in the United States before the civil rights movement, when African Americans were systematically separated from white Americans in schools, public transportation, housing, and other areas of society. The United States Supreme Court made several landmark decisions to declare segregation as unconstitutional, ultimately leading to the desegregation of public spaces and the protection of civil rights for all individuals.
