Justice Ginsburg cited the Sweatt case in her majority opinion in U.S. v. Virginia - the case that struck down the Virginia Military Institute's male-only admissions policy in 1996. Another important reminder of how the courts (local, state, and federal) have a major impact on issues affecting individual rights.

Today is the 70th anniversary of the integration of The University of Texas! On September 19, 1950, Heman Sweatt finally registered for his classes at Texas Law. Sweatt had first applied on February 26, 1946, but U.T. President Theophilus Painter and Texas Attorney General Grover Sellers refused to accept him, citing Texas' segregation laws. Sweatt and his attorney, Thurgood Marshall, prevailed in the U.S. Supreme Court four years later, in a unanimous landmark decision, changing the face of American higher education.
