Explanation

In Sweatt v. Painter (1950), the Supreme Court ruled that the law school Texas created for Black students was not equal to the University of Texas Law School. The Court considered not only physical facilities but also factors such as reputation, faculty, and opportunities for interaction. The decision helped undermine legal segregation in education.
