I-Austin Case Rights Case ibonise isinyathelo esibalulekile ekuhlanganiseni
Icala leNkantolo eNkulu yaseRopatt v. Painter, elibandakanya iNyuvesi yaseTexas School of Law, lashiya uphawu lwayo e-Austin kanye nomzabalazo omkhulu wemalungelo omphakathi.
Ingemuva
Ngo-1946, u-Heman Marion Sweatt ufake isicelo sokungena eNyuvesi yaseTexas School of Law e-Austin. Kodwa-ke, uMengameli we-UT u-Theophilus Painter, elandela iseluleko sommeli wombuso kazwelonke, wenqaba isicelo sikaLotatt ngenxa yokuthi umthethosisekelo waseTexas uvinjelwe imfundo ehlanganisiwe.
Ngosizo lweNational Association for the Development of People Colors, u-Sweatt uthumele i-suit ngokumelene neyunivesithi efuna ukungena. Ngaleso sikhathi, akukho sikole somthetho eTexas esamukele ama-Afrika aseMelika. Inkantolo yaseTexas yaqhubeka necala, okwenza isikhathi sesikhathi sokumisa isikhungo somthetho esihlukile sabamnyama e-Houston. (Lesi sikole saba iTexas Southern University; isikole sazo saqanjwa ngokuthi uTurgood Marshall, omunye wabameli abanikeze icala likaTratt eNkantolo eNkulu yase-United States futhi owayesebenza njengobulungisa bokuqala base-Afrika naseMelika.)
Ukubusa KweNkantolo Ephakeme
Izinkantolo zaseTexas zisekela inqubomgomo yombuso ngokusekelwe emfundisweni "ehlukene kodwa elinganayo" eyasungulwa icala lika-1896 likaPlessy v. Ferguson. Kodwa-ke, elicaleni le-Sweatt v. Painter, iNkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States inqume ukuthi isikole esihlukile esasungulwe abantu abamnyama sasinakho "ukulingana okubalulekile" ngezizathu eziningana, kubandakanya ukuthi isikole sinamalungu amancane amakhono kanye nomtapo wolwazi olungaphansi komthetho nezinye izindawo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uMarshall wathi inkolo ehlukile yomthetho omnyama ayanele ngoba ingxenye esemqoka yemfundo yommeli kumele iphikisane imibono nabantu abavela ezizindaweni ezihlukahlukene. Isinqumo senkantolo sagcizelela ilungelo likaLotatt ithuba lokufundisa elilinganayo, futhi ekupheleni kuka-1950, wangena esikoleni somthetho uT.
Ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nezici zomthetho zecala, ungafunda i-amicus ephelele.
Ifa
Isinqumo se-Sweatt sasiza ekutheni kube nokuhleleka kwezemfundo kuzo zonke izigaba zemfundo yomphakathi futhi kusebenze njengesandulela isinqumo seBrown v. IBhodi Yezemfundo esanikezwa iNkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States ngo-1954.
I-UT School of Law manje ine-professorship kanye ne-scholarship okuthiwa ngu-Sweatt, futhi lesi sikole siba nengqungquthela yonyaka ngomphumela wecala lika-Sweatt ngokuhlukahluka nokufundisa. I-Tarlton Law Library ye-UT inezinqolobane eziningi zomlando, izingxoxo zomlando zomlomo kanye nemisebenzi eshicilelwe kulesi cala kanye nesethi ephelele yezikhalazo zokuphikisa kanye nokubhalwa kwecala lokuqala lezinkantolo.
Ngo-2005, iNkantolo Yomthetho WaseTravis County - lapho icala lokuqala lalingelwa khona - edolobheni lase-Austin laqanjwa kabusha ngokuhlonishwa kuka-Sweatt; i-plaque yethusi nenendaba yakhe imi ngaphandle komnyango.
