Yes, Oliver Brown and the other petitioners who were part of class action suit to end racial segregation in public schools won their case. The US Supreme Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice Earl Warren, declared "separate but equal" unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment. This eventually led to the integration of public schools and was a major milestone in the Civil Rights Movement.
