US History – 1945 to Present
Segregation refers to the enforced separation of different racial or ethnic groups within a society, often resulting in unequal access to resources, rights, and opportunities. This practice was particularly prominent in the United States from the late 19th century through the 1960s, affecting various aspects of life such as education, transportation, and housing, and it became a focal point for civil rights activism and legislation aimed at achieving equality and dismantling discriminatory practices.
