In 1960, Nixon carried the African-American vote, barely.  We might have seen a stronger Goldwater in the South, because some Black people would have voted for him.
Most black people in the South couldn't vote yet in 1964. It was only after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that Southern blacks got the franchise. A pro-Civil Rights Goldwater just would have spawned a Southern third party candidate like in 1948, 1960, and 1968.
