Martin Luther King JR's Assassination
Martin Luther King Jr. was a little-known civil rights activist until he was invited to lead the Montgomery Improvement Association, otherwise known as the MIA. It was unsuccessful at first, but then it worked out as buses were no longer segregated. After this victory, he led the Selma March in Selma, Alabama. The march was also unsuccessful at first, but they achieved victory on their third try. However, during that time, Martin Luther King and his friend were arrested, during which M.L.K. began writing his famous speech. After delivering his speech, he went to a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, where he stood out on his balcony. Unfortunately, he was shot and passed away from his wounds.
