Sweatt v. Painter was the court case that involved the University of Texas at Austin encouraging African-American students to go out of state to attend law school. Heman Sweatt, an African-American man, was denied admission to the University of Texas School of Law because of his race. The Supreme Court ruled that the separate law school established for African-American students was not equal to the University of Texas School of Law and ordered that Sweatt be admitted. This case was a precursor to Brown v. Board of Education, which ended segregation in public schools.
