Life and his Movements
Martin Luther King Jr. was busy with school and started to lose his religious routes, but after he became more involved again, later becoming a minister. MLK became very involved in Civil Rights, leading the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and became very involved in speeches and boycotts. His main works were the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the “I have a Dream” speech. King believed in equal rights for all including blacks, jews and any minority groups. Although, towards the end of his life MLK became very worried about the little progress his hard work did. He no longer wanted to boycott, go to jail, or protest for the cause because he
had given up much hope. On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was fatally shot while standing on the balcony outside his second-story room at athe Lorriane motel in Memphis, Tennessee. He was in Memphis to support a strike by sanitation workes when he was shot in the jaw and the bullet severed his spinal cord. Martin Luther King Jr. was a young thirty-nine when pronounced dead.
