Hide Profile

Texas State University for Negroes was founded by the Texas Legislature in 1947, in response to the lawsuit of Sweatt v. Painter, challenging racial segregation at the University of Texas School of Law. The legislature created Texas State University for Negroes to provide "separate but equal" education. The university's law school and law library were located in a building on the north side of the State Capitol grounds in Austin, and shared faculty with the University of Texas School of Law. In 1951, the university, located in Houston, was renamed Texas Southern University.
