Sweatt vs. Painter (1950) was a U.S Supreme court case that successfully challenge the separate but equal doctrine of racial segregation which was establish during the ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson case of 1896.In it ruling against Plessy v. Ferguson case a new verdict was made that the separate school established for blacks lacked substantive equality for a number of reason including the fact that the school had fewer faculty members and inferior law library and other facilities .The Court ruled Sweatt should be admitted to the Texas Law School because the law school for black students was not equal to the law school for white students.
