Brown v. Board of Education spurred national civil rights movements nationally. This was because the supreme court ruled unanimously that racial segregation was ruled unconstitutional. Previous rulings indicated that it was allowed to be segregated as long as it was separate but equal.

The court ruled that segregated schools are inherently unequal and therefore not allowed. This was a major pillar that fell to aid civil rights.

The patriot act denies also denies basic american rights under the guise of national security.
