Single senator can block legislation in the Senate via a filibuster - continuing the debate indefinitely. It requires a 3/5 majority to end a filibuster (60 votes in the current 100 senator US-Senate). When the bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964, the "Southern Bloc" of 18 Democrat Senators invoked the filibuster to prevent a vote on it. After 54 days, a substitute bill was introduced. Eventually a cloture (vote to end debate) was passed and the substitute bill was passed by the Senate on June 19.
