The day after Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, on April 5, 1968, riots erupted in cities across the United States as people expressed their grief, anger, and frustration over his assassination. The violence resulted in widespread destruction and numerous injuries, highlighting the deep racial tensions in the country. In response, President Lyndon B. Johnson called for calm and urged Americans to honor King's legacy through nonviolent means. Meanwhile, the FBI was mobilized to investigate the assassination, which would later lead to the arrest of James Earl Ray.
