Legalized segregation ended legally in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And then the Voting Rights Act came in 1965. They were both initiated by President Kennedy after the brutality of segregation in the South, especially in 1963, but because he himself was assassinated in November 1963, he wasn't able to follow through with the Acts. His successor, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, signed both. Please note that the police dog and fire hose attacks on children; bombing of the 4 little girls, etc. occurred in Birmingham's May and September respectively. Also, the Freedom Rides, which were also bloody and gruesome, brought national attention to the South a few years earlier in '61. President Kennedy was tired of the bad reputation it was giving the US as it went into the world, so he knew he had to address/solve the situation.
