desegregated
Opened to all
Desegregated describes places, institutions, or systems from which racial segregation has been removed.
A desegregated school admits students of all races; desegregated buses allow anyone to sit anywhere.
The term emerged from mid-20th-century American civil rights struggles: The lunch counter was desegregated after weeks of sit-ins.
Something desegregated was once segregated and has since been opened.
