Could the Civil Rights Act of 1964 been pushed backed to the 1970s in its original form?

Well, that depepends on how effective JFK can be. I have my doubts that he'd be able to achieve its passage before the 1964 Election, as I said above. But that doesn't mean he couldn't rebound after a successful reelection campaign, and pass it sometime in his second term. However, as @SargentHawk said, as time goes on the movement is going to get more and more militant, and that (to my mind) would have the effect of souring more white Americans on the idea of civil rights. So the longer Kennedy takes, the worse the situation could get.Nice ideas. Just asking @MikeTheLeftie98 on #1. How and when will the CRA pass here?
