Detailed explanation-1: -Board of Education (1954, 1955) The case that came to be known as Brown v. Board of Education was actually the name given to five separate cases that were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the issue of segregation in public schools.
Detailed explanation-2: -Justice Anthony M. Kennedy delivered the opinion for the 4-3 majority. The Court held that the University of Texas’ use of race as a factor in the holistic review used to fill the spots remaining after the Top Ten Percent Plan was narrowly tailored to serve a compelling state interest.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Fisher v. University of Texas a 4-3 majority of the United States Supreme Court upheld the University’s race-conscious admission program against a challenge from an applicant who claimed that the program violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Detailed explanation-4: -majority opinion by Fred M. Vinson. In a unanimous decision, the Court held that the Equal Protection Clause required that Sweatt be admitted to the university. The Court found that the “law school for Negroes, ” which was to have opened in 1947, would have been grossly unequal to the University of Texas Law School.
