After Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, Lyndon B Johnson, using influence in the Congress that Kennedy never had, signed the Civil Rights Act into law the next year. This was followed by the Voting Rights Act (banning racial discrimination in voting) and Title XI (banning discrimination based on sex in the education system) in 1965 and 1972.

Johnson was able to achieve these things, which fulfilled the demands of the Civil Rights Movement, because he had a better relationship with Congress and had a better understanding of how it worked. He was also more vocal about minority rights than Kennedy, who was somewhat muzzled on the matter to avoid losing the vote of Southern Democrats. Kennedy's rocky relationship with Congress affected the Civil Rights Act, which was stuck in the Rules Committee at the time of his OTL assassination.

Had Kennedy survived past November 22nd 1963, the Civil Rights Act would've either taken longer to get out of the Rules Committee or it may have never seen the floor of the House of Representatives, due to him not having Johnson's connections or knowledge about the inner workings of Congress.

How would have this setback affected the Civil Rights Movement? Could we see a more militant faction take over the CRM since the peaceful route was either taking too long or was not working at all in this timeline?
