The states that outlawed segregation were primarily influenced by landmark legislation and court rulings, notably the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). While no states officially outlawed segregation in a uniform manner, the federal government enforced desegregation, leading to significant changes in states across the South, such as Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Over time, all states were required to eliminate legal segregation practices in public facilities, schools, and transportation.
