The case you describe is: SWEATT v. PAINTER
Details:
The case of <em>Sweatt v. Painter (</em>1950), challenged the "separate but equal" doctrine regarding racial segregated schooling which had been asserted by an earlier case, <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> (1896).
Heman Marion Sweatt was a black man who was not allowed admission into the School of Law of the University of Texas. Theophilus Painter was the president of the University of Texas at the time. So that's where the names in the lawsuit came from.
In the case, which made its way to the US Supreme Court, the ultimate decision was that forcing Mr. Sweatt to attend law school elsewhere or in a segregated program at the University of Texas failed to meet the "separate but equal" standard, because other options such as those would have lesser facilities, and he would be excluded from interaction with future lawyers who were attending the state university's main law school, available only to white students. The school experience would need to be truly equal in order for the "separate but equal" policy to be valid.
In 1954, another Supreme Court decision went even further. <em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka </em>extended civil liberties to all Americans in regard to access to all levels of education. The <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>case had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality. In <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>, segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional. After the Brown v. Board of Education decision, there was a struggle to get states to implement the new policy of desegregated schools, but eventually they were compelled to do so.

The first factor is is that if you're capable of conducting governmental investigation then you would join the Standing Committee. It is a type of a permanent committee that exists for the purpose of dealing with any of the problems that need constant consideration. There are 16 such committees in the United States
The second factor is based on your capabilities to study a particular governmental issue which is when you join the Select Committee. A select committee is formed when a new problem arises and these committees solve these problems and then stop existing. Their purpose is to examine a certain issue and investigate it.
The third is for those that have a connection between houses and can conduct business with them which is when they would join a Joint committee. Joint committees are formed from members of both houses of the congress and they commonly have very narrow jurisdiction and do not report legislation to the congress.
The fourth is for those who have connection between the house and the senate who then join a Conference Committee. Conference committees deal with solving issues regarding legislation. If the two houses of congress can't agree on legislation, a conference committee is formed to help them resolve the issue.
