I agree, ideas stand, or fall, on their own, doesn't matter who presents them. No one ever won an argument just saying "because [person] said so", even if they think they did. However, slavery is now illegal and woman (are supposed to) have equal rights because the ideas they implemented made it possible. Question is, will it be enough to stop that stuff from coming back. I'm not optimistic atm.
Let's see what a former slave had to say about that.

In other words, it's going to be up to us whether it comes back or not. The constitution alone cannot and does not determine the morality of the laws it contains, that's up to the people. The tyrants will always seize as much power as they're able.
