Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sweatt v. Painter was the first Supreme Court case to limit segregation in Texas. The case challenged the "separate but equal" doctrine in higher education, with the plaintiff arguing that the separate law school for African Americans in Texas was not equal to the all-white law school. The Supreme Court agreed and forced the university to admit the plaintiff to the all-white law school. Lawrence v. Texas dealt with sodomy laws and the right to privacy, Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the separate but equal doctrine and United States v. Texas dealt with water rights.
