Martin Luther King was not assassinated.

Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated in 1968. The reason for it, and whether it was the work of one man or a conspiracy, was never clearly determined, so the reason why becomes, at best, an educated guess.

Some believe it was because the white people thought he was a threat. They thought black shouldn't have the same rights. They didn't want black to have the same rights so they killed him because he was going to be successful and make blacks have the same rights as white.

Others think it might have been related to his opposition to the war in Vietnam.

He was assassinated because some whites were against what he believed so they wanted to get rid of him by assasinating him!

(for short) a racist white man shot him cause Martin Luther King Jr. is black...
