"Historical case has UT in spotlight"

"Historical case has UT in spotlight": The Daily Texan today contains an article that begins, "When 33-year-old Heman Marion Sweatt, a black man, was denied admission to UT's all-white law school by then-UT president T.S. Painter in 1946, Sweatt sued, shaking the University's rigid hold on segregation and shocking a state still desperately clinging to the 'separate but equal' system. Sixty years ago in June, the Sweatt v. Painter case reached the U.S. Supreme Court, where the court ruled unanimously in favor of Sweatt."

You can access the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the case via this link.
