    Martin Luther King was in Memphis, when he was assassinated. The racial discrimination in the city killed Martin Luther King. The whites didn't like him and beat him and arrested him and tortured him. When he was at this motel, he was killed due to the racial discrimination in Memphis.

    I thought this was interesting because it shows the racism in Memphis. This problem can get bigger and bigger if it is allowed. This crime was done because Martin Luther King was black. This is a big part in racial discrimination.

    "and beat him and arrested him and tortured him" is a run-on sentence. The crime was not done just because he was black. The attack was done because he was supporting blacks. Also you need to list this under history.

    I think this is to long ago and it won't really give lots of information about today society.

    I argue with Hewes because it was formal and gave recent information ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although this article gives specific information about Memphis' history, the information is not recent nor important for today's situation.

    I agree with Hewes, It was a long time ago. You need to find a website with recent info.

    Memphis is a big city for civil rights in America, but I think you could find something that relates to today, and effects our society.

    Are there any facts backing theses conspires, and what causes them to be so compelling?
  • Caleb B on 19 Feb 14
     
    This is not important because it is to old for our question.
  • Jack F on 19 Feb 14
     
    While this does go over the racial discrimination I think this more one sided and is only about Dr. Martian Luther King.
  • Seth R on 19 Feb 14
     
    How does this relate to us reducing racism in our community ? I like how you used facts to back up the problem. I don't think that this doesn't really relate to us reducing racism. I suggest that you find an article that does realet to our issue.

    This is a good topic and I think that it will help in our group discussion, but I think that you need something more recent.

    Why is this important today if it happened in 1968?I like the historical reference.I'm concerned with it's outdated info. I suggest you find something more current.

    Although this happened many years ago, I think this article can help us in this proses of how we can reduce racism in our community.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    This may be a little one-sided. The passage talks about the outrage and distress after King's death, but not the feelings of racist people in the country.

    I do not think this is biased. However, I would question whether or not it is relevant to what we are studying. Your question was, "Where/how do we address the problem and change things?". The upcoming days of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination aren't relevant to that question.

Dr.King Memphis racism issues

shared by Jim K on 10 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • Does racism still exist forty years after the Civil Rights movement?  Do African Americans continue to face racial discrimination in today’s society?  Does racism undermine our national unity?  The answer to these questions is overwhelmingly yes.  No matter how far America progresses, there will always be people who thwart America’s evolution into a post-racist society.  Nonetheless, in order to gain understanding of our progression, or lack of, we must first analyze racism on a local level.  In order to alleviate racist attitudes, we must first put forth an effort in our own homes and communities.  Local citizens should work together in order to instill a sense of community shared across racial lines.  The social and economic status of African Americans may vary from city to city, but in Memphis, Tennessee, racial discrimination is undeniably still an issue.
  •  Memphis, Tennessee has long been known as a city that symbolizes racism; Memphis will forever be burdened with being labeled as “the city where Dr. King was assassinated.”  Because Memphis was the sight of the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King, it is the best place to test America’s progress.

    This is how Memphis is still effected by racial issues still today. We are forever to be categorized as the city were King died.
  • Sam B on 19 Feb 14
     
    Although much of the information is believable and maybe even true, most of it is an opinion stating that Memphis is a racists community known as the place where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

    I realize that this isn't up-to-date, but I personally knew Asians who committed suicide because of racism issues. We need to focus on different races like Asians, Latinos, and Arabs. This article is about Asians and how their suicide rates our high because of a racism problem.

    As we see that racism isn't just to black people.
