The Brown vs Board of Education court case occurred four years after Sweatt vs Painter court case. In the Brown case, laws establishing racial segregation were deemed unconstitutional. In the Sweatt case, one man sued due to not being accepted into a law school based on the color of his skin.
The decision in Brown v Board of Education primarily focused on ending racial segregation in public K-12 schools. While the ruling did not directly apply to colleges and universities in the South at the time, it laid the groundwork for future legal challenges to desegregate higher education institutions. Subsequent cases, such as Sweatt v. Painter and University of California v. Bakke, built on the principles established in Brown to challenge racial segregation in higher education as well.
The case involved a Black man, Heman Marion Sweatt, who was refused admission to the School of Law of of the University of Texas, whose president was Theophilus Painter, on the grounds that the Texas State Constitution prohibited integrated education. At the time, no law school in Texas would admit blacks.

In the years leading up to Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court had a mixed record on segregation cases. In some instances, it upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal," such as in the 1896 case, Plessy v. Ferguson, which established the "separate but equal" principle. However, there were a few cases, like Sweatt v. Painter (1950) and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents (1950), where the Court began to question the implementation of segregation in higher education. These cases set the stage for the landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
