Word Origin:
[segregation] mid 16th cent.: from late Latin segregatio(n-), from the verb segregare, from se- ‘apart’ + grex, greg- ‘flock’.

Culture:
In the US, the policy of segregation, especially in the southern states, denied African Americans their rights and forced them to use separate schools, restaurants, hotels, cinemas, etc. from those used by white people. As a result of the ↑civil rights movement, laws were passed in the 1950s and 1960s which greatly reduced segregation in US society. This process is called desegregation or ‘integration’.
