Answer:

Murray v. Pearson

Step-by-step explanation:

Murray v. Pearson was a Maryland Court of Appeals case whose verdict was that "the state legally assumed the function of educating but deprived students of a" black "race of the only proper preparation for that purpose, and did so simply because of its color." On January 15, 1936, the court upheld a lower court decision that ordered the University of Maryland Legal School to immediately integrate the black student population in the state, creating a legal precedent that prohibited racial segregation in the state of Maryland.
