Thesis Statement 40 years later to 2008 when on the eve the U.S. Presidential election; a newcomer, Democrat Barack Obama is going against establishment Republican John McCain.

I intend to prove that the cataclysmic event of the MLK assassination sowed seeds that paved the way for the eventual election of the first African-American President.

It’s the year 1976, the United States Senate has just called for a new inquiry into the infamous assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in 1963 during his own motorcade in Dallas, TX while running for re-election. The CIA along with the FBI were coaxed into releasing new documents on Lee Harvey Oswald, and individuals who had not given evidence previously were persuaded to come forward.

It was also concluded that a fourth shot was taken from ‘the grassy knoll’, which was something that was contradicting to the statement given by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier.

A careful look at the facts known about King’s assassination would lead one to know that Martin Luther King’s assassination was not a conspiracy, it was the work of the criminal James Earl Ray. Although in the end, some may believe that James Earl Ray is innocent or that one of the conspiracies are true, this overlooks the hard facts brought up in the investigations. The lack of definitive proof or witnesses and the changing statements of the people involved leads to an unsure conclusion. The various conspiracies may hold some relevance, however, each conspiracy shows weak points that removes it from the list of plausible theories.

Malcolm X was a man with great controversy. Many thought he was a powerful speaker with great ability to influence others. Others believed this was a tremendous threat to the Nation of Islam and individuals who disagreed with his philosophy. Malcolm X was killed by two black gunmen from the Nation of Islam just before giving a speech at Audubon.

RFK assured, “I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling.” RFK outright told the audience he can relate to their grief. RFK continued, “I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.” Similar to MLK’s death, JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, a white man.

On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy delivered the news to a largely populated African- American crowd in Indiana that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated (Stack, 2018). When Kennedy gave his speech, he kept reiterating the idea of love, wisdom, and compassion towards one another during this tragic time. This idea was important to address when it comes to demographics of his audience (Kennedy.) Within his audience there weren’t just people of color, there were people of all skin colors.
