Herman Marion Sweatt, the first African American student to enroll at the University of Texas, walking across campus at the beginning of the Fall semester. Austin, August 1950.

*Heman, not Herman, sorry for the typo.

Sweatt had been denied permission to attend the school four years previously (due to the school's segregationist admission polices) and sued in the case of Sweatt v. Painter which, though he lost in State court, he won before the US Supreme Court in a decision on June 5, 1950.

It would be another 13 years before Texas A&M admitted their first African-American student.
