Assassination of Dr. King



At around 6 PM on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King was shot dead with a bullet to his neck. Blood was spilled all over the balcony of the window at a motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Many African Americans along with white Americans were outraged when the news came out. Many African American created riots in the streets of many American cities. There have been many controversies about who pulled the trigger. Some even say it was the government. Martin Luther King’s assassination was one of the most upsetting assassinations in all of history as Dr. King had worked for 13 years fighting for the rights of blacks.
