"Sweatt struck down "separate but equal" graduate and professional schools. Brown struck down "separate but equal" public schools" is the best bet, since the Brown V. Board of Ed decision was more expansive and overturned Plessy V. Ferguson

Explanation:

Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U. S. 629 (1950), was a U. S. Supreme Court case that with success challenged the "separate however equal" philosophy of separatism established by the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson. The case was influential within the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education four years later.
