The civil rights movement set the cultural values and tone of the era, and strongly influenced the movement for the rights of the insane. Also, this connection was and continues to be made as a framing strategy for mental health consumer advocates.

Ways to consider this relationship:
 * 1) The civil rights movement was a major influence on the cultural milieu and ideology, which was then adopted by the consumer rights movement.
 * 2) The civil rights movement was an example of social change methods which were used by the consumer rights movement.
 * 3) The civil rights movement is brought in as a comparison by the consumer rights movement as a framing strategy, similar to how it is used by LGBT groups
