4 Chapter 11 March On

Chapter 11 March On If he couldn't get a city government to cooperate, Martin decided to go higher up. Martin and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference planned another march to Washington, D.C., for the spring of 1968. The purpose was to get Congress to pass laws that would help poor people get better jobs. Before the big march, Martin Luther King, Jr., went to Memphis, Tennessee. Garbage workers were on strike. Martin wanted to help them get a pay raise. On March 28, 1968, Martin and the peaceful protestors set out on the streets of Memphis. Once again, the result was violence. But it was caused by some of the marchers. Some teenagers broke

如果他不能得到市政府的合作，马丁决定向更高的地方进发。 马丁和南方基督教领袖会议计划在1968年春天再次向华盛顿特区进军。 其目的是促使国会通过法律，帮助穷人获得更好的工作。 在大游行之前，马丁·路德·金去了田纳西州的孟菲斯。 垃圾工人在罢工。 马丁想帮助他们加薪。 1968年3月28日，马丁和和平抗议者走上孟菲斯街头。 结果又是暴力。 但这是由一些游行者造成的。 一些青少年破产了

into local stores and stole things. A riot began. This went against everything that Martin stood for. Martin returned home to Atlanta and did not come back to Memphis until April 3. Many people were threatening to hurt Martin. But Martin was not afraid. He still hoped to help the striking garbage workers. Martin met with some of the other city and civil rights leaders the next day. Later that evening, Martin stepped out onto the balcony of his room at the Lorraine Motel. It was chilly outside, but Martin was enjoying the fresh air. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Martin fell to the ground. Martin Luther King, Jr., was dead. The civil rights movement had lost its strongest voice.

去当地的商店偷东西。 一场骚乱开始了。这违背了马丁的一切主张。 马丁回到亚特兰大的家中，直到4月3日才回到孟菲斯。 许多人威胁要伤害马丁。 但马丁并不害怕。 他仍然希望帮助罢工的垃圾工人。 第二天，马丁会见了其他一些城市和民权领袖。 那天晚上晚些时候，马丁走到他在洛林汽车旅馆房间的阳台上。 外面很冷，但马丁正享受着新鲜空气。 突然，一声枪响。 马丁倒在地上。 马丁·路德·金去世了。 民权运动失去了最强有力的声音。
