[W]e cannot find substantial equality in the educational opportunities offered
white and Negro law students by the

University of Texas Law School is
superior It is difficult to believe that one
who had a free choice between these law
schools would consider the question close.
What does the Supreme Court ruling at left
suggest about Texas's African American and
white law schools?
Separate facilities for African Americans
whites can be equal.
Separate facilities for African Americans
whites may be unequal in quality.
Separate facilities are okay as long as th
is a common library.
