Desegregation in Black history refers to the process of ending racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. This was a significant civil rights struggle that took place in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. One of the most well-known events in the desegregation movement was the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954, which declared racially segregated public schools unconstitutional.

Following the Brown v. Board decision, a series of events and protests took place across the country to desegregate schools, businesses, and public spaces. In the South, efforts to resist desegregation led to significant confrontations and violence, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and the Little Rock Nine in 1957.

Desegregation efforts extended beyond education to include housing, employment, voting rights, and other aspects of society. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were landmark pieces of legislation that aimed to abolish segregation and ensure equal rights for African Americans.

Desegregation was a pivotal moment in Black history, as it marked a significant step toward achieving equality and civil rights for African Americans in the United States. Despite the progress made, the fight against discrimination and segregation continues to this day.
