In 1950, Sweatt, a black man, was turned away by a college in Texas because of race. He took it to the State, which created an “equal” college for blacks and tried to leave the entire situation as “separate but equal”, but that wasn’t good enough for him. He took it to the Supreme Court with the support of the NAACP, with the defendant being Painter from the college. The Supreme Court decided that the separate colleges were in no objective way equal. Sweatt won the case. The case ended up becoming a turning point for segregation. It asserted that statuory segregation would not be allowed anymore.
