 President Woodrow Wilson, a Southern Democrat, initiated the segregation of federal workplaces in 1913.In 1954, segregation of public schools (state-sponsored) was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in the landmark case "Brown v. Board of Education".In some states, it took many years to implement this decision, while the Warren Court continued to rule against the Jim Crow laws in other cases such as "Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. United States" (1964).
