USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -De jure segregation mandated the separation of races by law, and was the form imposed by slave codes before the Civil War and by Black Codes and Jim Crow laws following the war. De jure segregation was outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Detailed explanation-2: -Judicial rulings and legislation passed during the era of the Civil Rights Movement ended de jure segregation, separation that was mandated by law and enforced by the government. But de facto segregation-separation that exists even though laws do not require it-persists to the present day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Use the adjective de jure to describe something that exists legally, like a law which specifies that companies can’t discriminate against disabled people when they’re hiring workers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Latin phrase “de jure” literally means “according to the law.” The Jim Crow Laws of the U.S. southern states from the late 1800s into the 1960s and the South African apartheid laws that separated Black people from White people from 1948 to 1990 are examples of de jure segregation.
