Supreme Court ends 1949-50 term with segregation rulings
The Supreme Court ruled that Negroes must have substantial equality with white students in Texas and Oklahoma state universities. It ordered the University of Texas to admit Heman Sweatt and the University of Oklahoma to desegregate graduate studies for G. W. McLaurin. The court also found dining car segregation unlawful under the Interstate Commerce Act, but left the 1886 separate but equal doctrine intact. Reactions varied across states.
