The two Supreme Court cases that dealt with desegregation on college campuses are:
1. **Sweatt v. Painter (1950)** - This case challenged the separate but equal doctrine in higher education. The Supreme Court ruled that the University of Texas law school had to admit African American student Heman Sweatt, as the separate facility provided for Black students was not equal.
2. **McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents (1950)** - In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that when an African American student, George McLaurin, was admitted to the University of Oklahoma, he could not be subjected to discriminatory treatment that separated him from white students, as it violated his rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
**Plessy v. Ferguson** (1896) established the "separate but equal" doctrine but did not specifically address college campuses. **Gayle v. Browder** (1956) is related to bus segregation, not higher education desegregation.
