Detailed explanation-1: -De facto segregation was a term used during the 1960s racial integration efforts in schools, to describe a situation in which legislation did not overtly segregate students by race, but nevertheless school segregation continued.
Detailed explanation-2: -De facto may also be used in situations where no official law (de jure) exists. A notable example is a language widely spoken in a country and used by the government to conduct business though the country has no official language; e.g., English is the de facto official language of the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -But de facto segregation-separation that exists even though laws do not require it-persists to the present day. We saw this kind of segregation in Prom Night in Mississippi. The community’s tradition was to hold a black prom and a white prom. The laws didn’t require it, but people separated themselves anyway.
