About Sweatt V. Painter
Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U. S. 629, was a U. S. Supreme Court case that successfully challenged the "separate but equal" doctrine of racial segregation established by the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson. The case was influential in the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education four years later.
