We cannot find substantial equality in the
educational opportunities offered white and
Negro law students by the State. In terms of
number of the faculty, variety of courses and
opportunity for specialization, size of the
student body, scope of the library, availability
of law review and similar activities, the
University of Texas Law School is superior....
It is difficult to believe that one who had a
free choice between these law schools would
consider the question close.
-Sweatt v. Painter
Read the Supreme Court's ruling to the left. What
does it suggest about Texas's African American
and white law schools?
O Separate facilities for African Americans and
whites can be equal.
Separate facilities for African Americans and
whites may be unequal in quality.
Separate facilities are alright as long as there
is a common library.
