In this video/lesson series we will explore how Martin Luther King broadens his scope, speaking out against poverty and the Vietnam War. However,he is met with resistance - from white protestors, from Lyndon Johnson, and from some in his own coalition. Riots break out in Detroit and other American cities, testing his theory of nonviolence. Then, in Memphis to support striking sanitation workers, King is gunned down on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel.
