How did the civil rights act of 1964 overcome the filibuster some senators used to try to block?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 overcame the filibuster through a combination of strategic legislative maneuvering and public pressure. Senate leaders, particularly Majority Leader Mike Mansfield and key supporters like Senator Hubert Humphrey, used a cloture motion to end the filibuster, which required a two-thirds majority vote. This motion successfully secured enough bipartisan support to limit debate and bring the bill to a vote. Additionally, widespread public support for civil rights and the moral urgency highlighted by events such as the March on Washington bolstered the political will to advance the legislation despite opposition.
