Category:Segregated schools in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is not a separate category for historically segregated white schools, as this would be a very large category. (See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 29#Category:Historically segregated white schools in the United States.) The "segregation academies" were not, in most cases, de jure (by law) segregated. In most Southern states all public schools, unless specifically designated for African-American ("colored") students, were de jure segregated for white students only until enforcement of Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
