Question

Which of the following choices is an example of de jure segregation?

laws requiring blacks and whites to attend separate schools

children on a playground playing with children of the same race

blacks and whites choosing to sit on separate sides of a restaurant

None of these choices are correct.

Answer 1

the best answer would be, "laws requiring blacks and whites to attend separate schools".

de jure segregation is the legal separation of races, and the first answer is the only one that has to do with the law. the second answer is integration, and the third answer is de facto segregation (segregation that existed because of the voluntary associations and neighborhoods)
