Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question describes the early NAACP challenge to segregation, and Heman Sweatt's case specifically. The correct answer is B because the state of Texas attempted to create a separate law school for black students by renting a few rooms in an office building and hiring two black lawyers. Sweatt argued that the separate school was unequal and not truly separate but unequal, hence violating the principle of "separate but equal." This case ultimately went to the Supreme Court, which ruled in Sweatt's favor and struck down segregation in graduate and professional schools.
