Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)

No. Brown declared segregation in public schools (K-12) unconstitutional, but didn't touch segregation in either private or public post-secondary education. These issues were addressed in later cases citing Brown and Brown II as precedents. The official order to desegregate public schools (K-12) was released in Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955).
