Racial segregation in restrooms in Virginia officially ended with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited discrimination based on race in public accommodations. However, many public facilities, including restrooms, continued to be segregated until the late 1960s and early 1970s as local governments and establishments gradually complied with the law. The struggle for desegregation was marked by protests and legal challenges throughout the Civil Rights Movement.
