jun 5, 1950 - Sweatt v. Painter
Description:
the Supreme Court ordered the University of Texas to admit a black applicant, Herman Sweatt, to its law school. A hastily improvised black law school in Houston, it ruled, could not possibly provide Sweatt with a legal education "substantially equal" to that available to white students at UT. -Better Day Coming, Adam Fairclough
