MLK from page 2
When King led a voter registration
drive in Alabama, in the spring of 1965,
people came from all over the nation to
support black voting rights. That same
year, Congress passed the Voting Rights
Act.
In the mid-’60s, the struggle for black
equality spread to the inner-cities of the
North. Riots broke out among poor
blacks, and King increasingly turned his
attention to the problems of poverty, not
just formal segregation. In 1965 and
1966 he led a campaign against racial
discrimination among Chicago landlords.
In 1966, King first publicly attacked the
Vietnam War. He was criticized by
moderate black leaders, such as Roy
Wilkins and Whitney Young, who argued
that the war was not a civil rights issue.
King replied that he opposed all injustice to
blacks, and that furthermore, the war
wasted money that might otherwise help al-
leviate blacks’ poverty, ill health and lack
of education. Later, most black leaders
came to oppose the war.
In 1968, King organized a “Poor
People's Campaign” to unite the poor in a
fight against poverty.
While supporting a strike by black sani-
tation workers in Memphis, Term, on April
4, 1968, King was assassinated.
James Earl Ray, a white ex-convict,
later pleaded guilty to the crime but never
disclosed a motive. King’s murder
errupted rioting by blacks in more than
100 cities. More than 100,000 people
attended his funeral in Atlanta. His
tombstone expressed the fundamentally
religious vision that underlay his
activism. It was inscribed, “Free at last,
free at last. Thank God almighty I’m free
at last.”
Monday has been designated a federal
holiday in observance of King’s birthday.
