    This page gives a very detailed overview of the Civil Rights movement in general, and also a lot of things people have already tried.

    This info is old and outdated. MLK's march for the sanitation workers was in the mid-late 60's.

    The tripod is not complete or done at all and there is no ladder of feedback

    I do not understand why you did a website that was not updated.

    This isn't really up to date. Please try to find modern stuff. :)

    The question I had to answer was, "What have people already tried?" Therefore, it doesn't really matter how recent it is, as long as it's relevant and reliable.

Dr.King Memphis racism issues

  • 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.

    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.
