desegregations
Abolishing racial divisions
Desegregations are instances or processes of ending racial segregation—the forced separation of people by race in schools, housing, public facilities, or other institutions.
The word typically appears in discussions of multiple efforts or phases: The desegregations of Southern schools occurred gradually through the 1960s and 1970s.
