The claim: Democrats held the nation’s longest filibuster for 75 days to attempt to prevent the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
When senators want to put the brakes on legislation, they talk. And talk. And talk some more. That's called a filibuster.
Who holds the record for the longest filibuster? Recently a claim has made the rounds: "In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing. The Civil Rights Act."
One Facebook user shared a post with the claim on social media on June 5. She did not respond when asked if she had any additional comments.
The Senate’s website states that the “longest continuous debate in Senate history” was about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Prior to passing the act, Southern congressmen signed the “Southern Manifesto” to resist racial integration by all “lawful means,” states the Library of Congress’ exhibit, “The Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Long Struggle for Freedom.”
The Library of Congress website states the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights led to an attempt to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
The Senate site states President John F. Kennedy supported the act prior to his assassination and that President Lyndon B. Johnson encouraged Congress to pass the act in honor of Kennedy and to “end racial discrimination and segregation in public accommodations, public education, and federally assisted programs.”
Emanuel Celler, a New York Democrat, introduced the House’s version of a resolution on June 19, 1963, that would become the Civil Rights Act, according to an article in Smithsonian Magazine.
The House passed the bill on Feb. 10, 1964. It moved to the Senate on Feb. 26, 1964, and was placed on the Senate’s Judiciary Committee’s calendar, the Senate’s website states. The committee was chaired by civil rights opponent James Eastland of Mississippi.
According to Senate history, the issue was moved for consideration on March 9, 1964, when “Southern senators launched a filibuster against the bill,” with debates lasting 60 days.
Toxic Weed Killer Planned for Use in Connecticut Rivers Sparks Alarm This Is NO JOKE.. State Of EMERGENCY! - 3 DAYS LEFT! Why EVERYONE Should Be WORRIED About July 7th! In the weeks surrounding July 4, 2025, people across Connecticut began raising concerns about a controversial chemical called Diquat —a weed killer known for its strength and toxicity. The chemical is part of a federally backed project to control a fast-spreading water plant called hydrilla , which is choking parts of the Connecticut River. While the government says the goal is to protect the ecosystem, many citizens worry the cure could be worse than the problem. The Connecticut River Hydrilla Control Research and Demonstration Project first used small doses of Diquat in 2023. This summer, they planned to expand the treatment. According to official sources, the plan was coordinated by federal, state, and tribal agencies —meaning it had high-level approval. Other states like Florida and Massachusetts have also use...
ALERT: A STRANGE OBJECT JUST ENTERED OUR SOLAR SYSTEM Some people believe there are giant objects out in space that we don’t fully understand. One of the most mysterious is something they call the "Interstellar 12-mile-long Atlas." Scientists haven’t officially confirmed this, but stories have popped up online and in photos from space missions showing long, strange shapes near stars or floating between planets. Some say it looks like a ship—12 miles long, with straight sides and strange markings. It doesn’t act like a normal asteroid or comet. It doesn’t spin the same way or leave a trail like space rocks usually do. People who follow space secrets think this object might not be natural at all. They believe it could be something made by intelligent beings—like a huge spaceship or ancient machine left behind. They say maybe it’s hiding, just sitting still, or maybe watching what happens near Earth. Others say governments or big space agencies already know about it but don’t ...
Yes, there were people in Russia arrested for old crimes, and yes, there was a plane crash that Azerbaijan blamed on Russia. But if we look a little closer, there might be a bigger plan behind all this. Azerbaijan is getting closer with Turkey, and Turkey is part of NATO, which Russia doesn’t like. Some say Russia feels like it’s losing control over parts of the South Caucasus, a region it used to keep a tight grip on. So, Russia might be trying to stir up problems to remind everyone it’s still in charge. Others believe powerful countries often create trouble in smaller places so they can later offer to "fix it" and gain more control. It’s like when someone knocks over a tower of blocks just so they can be the one to rebuild it—only here, the blocks are countries and people’s lives. Why Are Tensions Rising Between Russia and Azerbaijan? In recent years, Russia and Azerbaijan have grown more distant and distrustful. They were once friendly neighbors, but since around 2009 the...
