The 1960s and 1970s saw a reckoning in the USA that while not complete, did result in a number of people with substantially incorrect views eventually coming about to a more sensible position.

Similar victories have been achieved with respect to drug legalization and "gay marriage".

None of these victories are or ever will be complete but a combination of discussion and social pressure did make significant social progress possible.
