Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sweatt v. Painter was a Supreme Court case that challenged the University of Texas Law School's policy of denying admission to black students. The Court ruled that the separate law school created for blacks was inadequate and ordered that Sweatt be admitted to the University of Texas Law School. This decision set a precedent for later cases, which challenged segregation in public schools and colleges. It did not end all Jim Crow laws, but it was a step towards equal educational opportunities for African Americans.
