“There were accomplishments that king had done through his life before his assassination. One of his accomplishment’s that Dr. king that was talked about was “Memphis Station Work”. The black workers in Memphis had been protesting about their terrible working experience and how they were always discriminated against and how the pay. African American’s had known they had been discriminated against because when they had been sent home without pay the white workers stayed working and got pay”.
