Question 3 • AZ-US/AZ History B (SS302)

What was the Supreme Court’s decision in this case?

Answer
A
“Separate but equal” schools should be improved in order to be fair.
B
Some schools can be “separate but equal,” while others cannot.
C
If a facility is truly “separate but equal,” then it is fair for all students.
D
A “separate but equal” law school does not provide an equal education.

Explanation

In Sweatt v. Painter, the Supreme Court ruled that the separate law school created for Heman Sweatt was not equal to the University of Texas Law School. The schools differed in resources and opportunities, including faculty, reputation, and professional connections. Therefore, a “separate but equal” law school did not provide an equal education.
