    Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. His death led to riots in over 100 cities across America in which 39 people died and over 10,000 were arrested. While James Earl Ray was convicted of killing MLK, some believe the U.S. government was involved due to King's activism for civil rights and opposition to the Vietnam War. Questions still remain around the details of his assassination.

    THE DEATH OF MARTIN LUTHER KING

    I. Death:

    Martin Luther King died at April, 4th 1968 at 18:01 on the balcony of The Lorraine Motel in Memphis.

    James Earl Ray was wanted to go to jail.

    II. Consequences:-

    In more than 100 cities there was violence. There died 39 people, 2000 people hurt and more than 10000 people were busted.

    But all people calmed down after the death of Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King was buried at April, 9th 1968 in Atlanta at the South View Cemetery. There were 50.000 people who took part in the funeral. Also there was a funeral for him.

    III. Funeral:

    IV. Conspiracy: -

    The government killed him, because he was too dangerous for them. James Earl Ray had been chosen to kill Martin Luther King.

    Maybe the FBI has planned the assassination. Lloyd Jowers said, that he got 100.000 US-Dollar that he chose a killer.

    But there are still many points which are not clear. For examples: From where shot James Ray? Which weapon did he used?
