In U.S. history, segregation refers to the systemic separation of individuals based on race, ethnicity, or other characteristics, particularly in public spaces, schools, and housing. This practice was prevalent from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, particularly in the Southern states, where Jim Crow laws enforced racial discrimination and unequal treatment. Segregation aimed to maintain white supremacy and social order, leading to significant civil rights struggles, which ultimately sought to dismantle these discriminatory practices through legal and social reforms. The landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights.

First of all, "the Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans." Thus, it became identified with segregation.

what does the term "racial harassment" mean?
The term is "de jure segregation." As opposed to de facto segregation, which is racial separation imposed by poverty and inequality of opportunity and privilege. "De jure" means, "as a matter of law," while, "de facto" means "as a matter of fact." In other words, de jure segregation is deliberate segregation enforced by law. De facto segregation is imposed not by law, but by circumstance. For example, in today's cities, black people still tend to live in the bad neighborhoods, while white people live in nice neighborhoods. That's de facto segregation. There are no laws preventing blacks from moving into the nice neighborhoods. They are kept out of the white neighborhoods by virtue of being too poor to afford living in the white neighborhoods. Black children who grow up in these bad neighborhoods have a very hard time getting out, because the schools in these neighborhoods are bad. A bad education means you can't have a successful career, which again means you will always be too poor to afford moving to the white neighborhoods. Thus, to a significant extent, blacks and whites are still segregated, even though the days of segregated drinking fountains and bathrooms ended decades ago. That's de facto segregation.
