Desegregation
Desegregation
is the process of ending the separation of two groups usually referring to races. This is most commonly used in reference to the United States. Desegregation was long a focus of the
American Civil Rights Movement
, both before and after the
United States Supreme Court's
decision in
Brown v. Board of Education
, particularly desegregation of the school systems and the military (
See
Military history of African Americans
).
Racial integration
of society was a closely related goal.
