Did you know...
1968 At sunset on April 4, Martin Luther King, Jr. is fatally shot while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. There are riots and disturbances in 130 American cities. There were twenty thousand arrests.

1922 Marcus Garvey's influence declined rapidly when he and other UNIA members were indicted for mail fraud in 1922 in connection with the sale of stock for the Black Star Line. He served two years of a five-year prison term, but in 1927 President Calvin Coolidge commuted his sentence, and he was deported as an undesirable alien. He was never able to revive the movement abroad, and he died in virtual obscurity.

1770 In March 1770, a British soldier slapped a white colonial boy. An angry mob led by former slave Crispus Attucks attacks the Brits, leading to the Boston Massacre. Attucks is noted as the first American to die in what became the American Revolution.

1831 A notable slave rebellion was led by Nat Turner (q.v.), at Southampton County, Va., in the summer of 1831. On the evening of August 21 a band of 6 slaves started their crusade against bondage, killing a total of 57 whites and attracting up to 70 fellow slaves to the conspiracy during the next few days. On the 24th, hundreds of militia and white volunteers stopped the rebels near Jerusalem, the county seat, killing at least 40 and probably nearer 100. Turner wasn't apprehended till much later, then tried, and finally hanged on November 11.

Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass lived to become one of the most influential figures in African American history. During his life as a slave in Baltimore he learned to read and write and passed his knowledge along to other blacks in Baltimore. Douglass is remembered as a great speaker. His speaking abilities were developed in the secret debating club called the East Baltimore Mental Improvement Society. He escaped from slavery to New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1838. There he discovered the leading white abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison. Douglass and Garrison worked worked together for social reform and the abolition of slavery. Douglass' style and voice could mesmerize his audience at abolitionist meetings.
