In 1964, the Senate overcame a record-setting filibuster to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on June 19, 1964. The 60-day debate included seven Saturdays and was the longest in history for a civil rights bill. Democratic senators attempted to filibuster the bill by talking it to death. However, the Senate was able to end the filibuster with the help of President Lyndon Johnson, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, and Senate floor leader Hubert Humphrey.
