When did segregation end in us?

Answer 1

May 17, 1954: Supreme Court unanimously outlaws segregation in public schools in Brown v. Board of Education. Aug. 29, 1957: Civil Rights Act of 1957 aims to increase black turnout at the polls by making it a crime to obstruct voter registration. July 2, 1964: Civil Rights Bill of 1964 bans segregation in the workplace and public accommodations. April 10, 1968: Civil Rights Bill bans discrimination in housing. July 2, 1964

Answer 2

The closest answer to this question may be when President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law on July 2, 1964. The Civil Rights Act upheld many earlier Supreme Court decisions that declared segregation unconstitutional but didn't effect wide change, mainly because of strong resistance in the south.

The Supreme Court case most often identified with ending segregation is Brown v. Board of Education, (1954), where the US Supreme Court declared the "separate but equal" doctrine affirmed in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The decision in Brown only dealt with segregation in the public schools, not in every aspect of life, but it laid a foundation for future decisions and laws that eventually culminated in an end to de jure (legal) segregation.

De facto segregation, based on economic circumstances and other social factors, never ended.
