In 1968, black civil rights leader Martin Luther King was shot and killed by an assassin in Memphis, Tennessee. King had struggled for the rights of African-Americans since the early 1950's. He was a powerful public speaker and an inspiring leader of the civil rights movement. James Earl Ray was convicted2 of murdering King, though to this day many people, including King's family, believe Ray did not act alone. Every year, on the third Monday of January, Martin Luther King Day is a public holiday in the USA.
