This is part of the black struggle worldwide.

Like this is part of this global problem.

It's not separate.

It's not its own thing.

So we need to figure like all these other countries need to get involved, too, and start pressuring the U.S.

to do something about it.

which is a pretty clever idea, actually.

And it was not something that Martin Luther King was doing at the time, from what I understand.

Yeah.

So this was, you said that was May of 1964.

Within just a few months, he would be dead.

And it's just so sad that he underwent that transformation.

And all of a sudden, his potential is really starting to blossom.

He turned into like a full butterfly for the first time.

And he's struck down.

The first thing that happened that kind of just foreshadowed his death was his house was firebombed by, he was quite sure, members of the Nation of Islam.

Apparently one of the bombs was thrown through a window that would have landed in and on the three of his little girls in their room, but luckily it shattered on the outside of the window and didn't make it through.

But it burned his house essentially down.

And this was a house that was owned by the Nation of Islam.

So they went as far as to accuse him of burning it down because they had evicted him from the house.
