Whereas in 1946, Herman Marion Sweatt, an African-Amer-
ican Houston mail carrier, applied to enroll in the law 
school at the University of Texas but was denied admis-
sion because of his race, which prompted him to file suit 
against the University of Texas; 
Whereas rather than grant admission to Herman Sweatt, the 
Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 140 on March 3, 
1947, providing for the establishment of a Negro law 
school in Houston and the creation of a university to sur-
round it; 
Whereas that law school would become the Thurgood Mar-
shall School of Law at Texas Southern University; 
Whereas, on June 5, 1950, the Supreme Court decided 
Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U.S. 629, which held that the seg-
regated law schools violated the Equal Protection Clause 
of the 14th Amendment and laid the foundation for the 
landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, 347 
U.S. 483 (1954); 
Whereas in 1973, the Texas Legislature designated Texas 
Southern University as a ‘‘special purpose’’ institution
