Racial segregation is when two races (examples of races are black, white, Mexican, Asian, etc.) are separated in everything they do. We once had a segregation between whites and blacks in America. They were separated in schools, restrooms, water fountains, parts of a bus (look up Rosa Parks for more info on that), and just about everything in life we do.
Racial segregation, especially in public schools, that happens "by fact" rather than by legal requirement. For example, often the concentration of African-Americans in certain neighborhoods produces neighborhood schools that are predominantly Black, or segregated in fact (de facto), although not by law (de jure). De facto segregation means that there is, in reality, segregation. Consider racial segregation of schools in the U.S. There was a time when some states had legally mandated segregation -- separate schools for Black and White students. This is no longer the case. However, some places still have de facto segregation where certain schools are virtually all White and others are virtually all Black. This could happen because the Blacks of a district live in the same area and use the same local school. And they might live in the same area because it is where they can afford the housing, or because whites in a formerly mixed neighborhood have moved away.
It meant that schools would be more congested, and a lot of things would be harder to get. Because there was no segregation, everything would be jam-packed. Therefore, everything was more cramped with more demand.
The nickname for segregation laws, particularly those that enforced racial segregation in the southern United States, is "Jim Crow laws." These laws were named after a minstrel show character and were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to maintain racial discrimination and inequality, particularly after the Reconstruction era. They mandated the separation of races in public spaces, schools, transportation, and more.

The Supreme Court ruling that caused schools to start integrating in the 1950s was Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This landmark decision declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, effectively ending racial segregation in schools.

An example of segregation is the Jim Crow laws in the United States, which enforced strict racial segregation in public facilities, schools, and housing. Another example is apartheid in South Africa, where a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination was in place from 1948 to 1994.

The famous decision outlawing segregated education in the United States was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren. This ruling came in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, where the Supreme Court unanimously declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The decision effectively overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, which upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine. Warren's opinion emphasized that segregated educational facilities were inherently unequal and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The important 1954 Supreme Court ruling that banned racial segregation in public schools was Brown v. Board of Education. The Court unanimously held that racial segregation of children in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This landmark decision challenged the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
