30 Jan 1956 Jahr - Martin Luther King House Bombing

Beschreibung:

MLK’s house in Montgomery, Alabama was bombed because he accepted the Montgomery Improvement Association presidency after Rosa Parks got arrested. The racist white people were completely against MLK because of their opposition to equal rights for African Americans and civil rights groups. While he was at a meeting discussing bus boycotts, someone planted bombs on his front porch. Fortunately, his wife and 10 week old daughter were left uninjured. Many of the black people were armed ready to attack, but MLK told them to remain calm and to be nonviolent.
