A lot of stuff happened, when you talk about the civil rights movement. There’s the assassination of Malcom X and J.F.K. There’s also the whole thing going on, about the racism and Martin Luther Kings attempt to make a different. There were the assassination of him and Poor people’s March on Washington, that was planed by him. An early effort of the fledgling democracy, started the history of the civil rights movement. And some of the things we’re talking about today, are different because of the civil rights movement.
Martin Luther King was the one who discovered the fact that a lot of young blacks didn’t care much for his preaching and cared even less for his passion for peaceful protest. King went many places, and he was highly dedicated to his job. He was trying to create coalition that were based on equal support for peace and civil rights. King’s timing was perfect, and many students, professors, intellectuals, clergymen and reformers rushed in to the movement wich made King put his attention on the domestic issue, he felt was related to the Vietnam struggle (poverty). He wanted to have a guarantee for family incomes, and with this in his mind, he began planning a big march in Washington D.C. that would be so big that the Congress would deal and recognize with the big number of desperate and downtrodden Americans. King didn’t complete it, because of the Memphis sanitation men’s strike, that he wanted to support. He wanted to focus on national attention on the plight of the poor and unorganized workers of the city. King never got the chance to go back to the March in Washington D.C. and his plans about poverty. King’s death came on April 4, 1968. He was killed on the balcony of the black owned hotel Lorraine. He was shot in neck by a bullet from a rifle. His death caused a big wave of violence in cities across the country.
