When was desegregation pass?

Desegregation in the United States was significantly advanced by the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education on May 17, 1954, which declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This ruling effectively overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, which upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine. Following this decision, desegregation efforts continued throughout the 1950s and 1960s, supported by various civil rights movements and additional legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
