Brown v. Board of Education,347 US 483 (1954)
Yes. The Supreme Court decision was based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court indicated that the decision could also be supported by the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause, but declined to elaborate because the Equal Protection Clause was sufficient to render segregation in the public schools unconstitutional.
