Why did it take so long for the civil rights act to be signed?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 took a long time to be signed due to deep-seated racial discrimination, political opposition, and social resistance in the United States. Efforts to pass civil rights legislation faced significant challenges from Southern lawmakers and interest groups who opposed desegregation and equal rights for African Americans. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 galvanized support for the bill, leading to a renewed push for its passage, which ultimately succeeded in July 1964. Extensive debates and filibusters in Congress also contributed to the lengthy process of enacting the legislation.
