The act of abolishing racial segregation involves the legal and social efforts to eliminate the enforced separation of different racial groups in public spaces, institutions, and services. This process typically includes legislative changes, such as the enactment of civil rights laws, judicial rulings, and grassroots activism aimed at promoting equality and integrating society. The result of this abolition is greater access to opportunities and resources for historically marginalized groups, fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. Ultimately, it seeks to dismantle systemic racism and promote social justice.
In 1952, 17 states in the United States had laws that mandated racial segregation in public schools. This segregation was a result of Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial discrimination and separation, particularly in the Southern states. The landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 would later challenge and ultimately overturn these segregation laws.
Segregation is separation:1. The act of segregating, or the state of being segregated; separation from others; a parting.2. (Science: geology) separation from a mass, and gathering about centers or into cavities at hand through cohesive attraction or the crystallizing process.3. (genetic) the formation of unique gametes from the genotype of the parents.
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) established the legal doctrine of "separate but equal," which upheld racial segregation laws. This ruling provided a constitutional justification for the enactment of Jim Crow laws across the Southern United States, institutionalizing racial discrimination and segregation in public facilities, education, and transportation. As a result, the decision reinforced systemic racism and inequality, contributing to the disenfranchisement of African Americans for decades.
Brown vs Board of Education said that regarding educational segregation, "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." Unfortunately, in many areas this is still going on because district and housing boundaries still reflect the economic and racial disparities in our society... but Brown vs Board of Education put an end to state-sanctioned racism. Now we just have to fight it in other ways.
The desegregation of Caroline County, Maryland school system was completed in 1967. It was a result of the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.

The Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896 upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, leading to widespread institutionalization of racial segregation in the South. This ruling legitimized Jim Crow laws, which enforced segregation in public facilities, education, and transportation, further entrenching systemic racism and disenfranchising African Americans. As a result, it reinforced social and economic inequalities, contributing to a legacy of discrimination that persisted for decades.

The Plessy v. Ferguson case, decided in 1896, upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. This ruling legitimized state laws that enforced segregation in public facilities, leading to widespread discrimination and the entrenchment of Jim Crow laws across the Southern United States. It effectively sanctioned racial inequality for nearly six decades until it was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.

De facto segregation refers to separation that occurs in practice, often due to social norms, economic conditions, or residential patterns, rather than legal requirements. In contrast, de jure segregation is enforced by law, where governmental policies explicitly mandate the separation of racial or ethnic groups. While both forms result in unequal treatment, de jure segregation is codified in legislation, such as Jim Crow laws in the United States, while de facto segregation arises more organically through societal behaviors and attitudes.

The Progressive movement of the late 19th and early 20th century claimed as members some of the brightest minds of the day. But the belief system took so called scientific racial theories as truth. As a result, most Progressives believed Blacks were intellectually inferior to Whites and favored segregation. Woodrow Wilson, a Progressive who believed in Social Darwinism as well as Eugenics, campaigned for forced sterilization of criminals and the mentally challenged and firmly believed in white supremacy.
