Question 5 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

The case of Sweatt v. Painter (1950) represented the NAACP’s attempt to focus on segregation in which area?

Answer
A
The military
B
Public education
C
Public transportation

Explanation

Sweatt v. Painter challenged the University of Texas Law School’s refusal to admit Heman Sweatt, a Black applicant, because of segregation. The case was part of the NAACP’s effort to challenge segregation in public education, especially higher education, so “Public education” is correct. It was not a case about the military or public transportation.
