Ending segregation in public graduate and professional schools.

The NAACP’s legal strategy in the 1930s–1940s was to attack segregation by challenging denial of access to graduate and professional programs (e.g., Gaines v. Canada, 1938; Sipuel v. Board of Regents, 1948), undermining "separate but equal" step by step rather than directly trying to overturn Plessy immediately.
