MLK: 'Time to break the silence'

 


 

The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most prominent leaders of the American civil rights movement (April 4, 1968) happened as he stood on the second floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had come to lead a march by striking sanitation workers.

Larry Hamm discusses the real economic reasons he thinks Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

Hamm is the chair of the People’s Organization for Progress (P.O.P.) in Newark, New Jersey. 

He led a walkout of students at Arts High School in support of the now historic Newark Teachers’ Strike in 1971.
