Although the History Channel noted that John F. Kennedy first proposed the unprecedented suite of legislation that would eventually become the Civil Rights Act in 1963, he would not live to see it take effect. That honor instead went to his successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, who signed the bill into law on July 2, 1964, after it passed in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
