In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to support a strike by African American sanitation workers who were protesting for better wages and working conditions. The strike was part of a broader movement for civil rights and economic justice. King's involvement aimed to highlight the struggles of low-wage workers and to advocate for their rights. Tragically, he was assassinated in Memphis on April 4, 1968, while there to support the workers.
