This page seriously needs to have a shorter introduction, and needs references too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.46.32.2 (talk) 12:01, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

Introduction

Although it might be nice to think so, my interpretation of this case is that it did not "successfully challenge the "separate but equal" doctrine"; instead, the court held that Texas had not followed it. On that basis, I am changing the intro. Please respond here if you have any objections. Bduddy (talk) 05:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Bduddy here. Two and a half years later, the intro still seems to be inaccurate.

The man's name is Heman Sweatt, not Herman Sweatt. Too bad the editing was off and I could not correct this basic fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteywheatstrawjr (talk • contribs) 02:52, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Newspaper article on the subject

This may be useful if the article is expanded:

Kever, Jeannie, A case that paved the way to equality Houston postal worker: Heman Sweatt's suit against UT opened doors for the fight against school discrimination, Houston Chronicle, 2010-10-01

Opening paragraphs, to aide in a search if the article changes URLs:

"Brown vs. Board of Education gets all the glory when people talk about the end of segregation.

But Sweatt vs. Painter came first, beginning with an ambitious postal worker in Houston and leading to the creation of Texas Southern University before ultimately opening the University of Texas law school to African-Americans."

Photo of Treanor

According to Wik page on William Treanor, he graduated from law school in 1985. So it's not clear how he could have been dean of Fordham Law School in 1982, when the picture was supposedly taken. Nothing about the photo makes sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.124.210 (talk) 23:06, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
