Sweatt v. Painter
View through CrossRef
On June 5, 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered its decision in the case Sweatt v. Painter. In 1946 an African American, Heman Marion Sweatt, applied for admission to the law school at the University of Texas in Austin; at the time, the president of the university was Theophilus Painter. The Texas constitution, however, prohibited integrated education; therefore, Sweatt was denied admission because of his race. He filed suit, but a Texas trial court delayed the case for six months to give the state time to establish a “separate but equal” law school for Blacks in Houston; that law school would eventually evolve into Texas Southern University. Sweatt challenged this step in the Texas Court of Civil Appeals, which affirmed thes trial court’s ruling.
