Segregation timeline

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

it really depends on what you mean by ending.

if you mean "officially" in places like the workplace, it would be from the time of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision regarding education (which took a huge amount of time to begin implementation).

but look around. things really are a lot better than they have been in the past.

BUT we still too often "self-segregate" ourselves. look at our churches on Sunday mornings, or many of the neighborhoods we choose to live in.
