The Jim Crow laws and the KKK made Houston the most segregated city in Texas. The African American community resisted, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Sweatt challenged the separate but equal doctrine in Texas and it became one of the events led the federal government to decide on the desegregation of higher education.
