Sweatt v. Painter was a 1950 U.S. Supreme Court case that ruled against the University of Texas at Austin's attempt to encourage African American students to attend a separate law school for blacks that was set up by the state of Texas. The court found that the "separate but equal" doctrine was not being upheld in this case, as the black law school did not provide the same quality of education as the University of Texas at Austin's law school.
