My grandmother whose full name is Nancy R. grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia. When she was down here when MLK got shot she had just moved here from Wheeling, West Virginia she was a newlywed twenty-four year old. The main thing that stood out to her about living in Memphis at the time was that it was one if the cleanest cities in then country compared to what it is like now. Her typical day was mainly being a newlywed homemaker trying to make her house look better than it actually was. What she remembered from when king was murdered was that the whole city was in terror of what the blacks would do if they decided to riot. The main thing that was different that the mayor at that time told whites if the blacks aren't getting out of your way to run them over. She was also afraid because her husband was out of town due to work. Things changed in the night for her in that her and other whites were extremely scared of the blacks. The National Guard also set up a curfew time when everybody had to be in their houses. Her night was that you had to be in bed by 9:00 because of the riots happening downtown. What she thought of King before he was killed was that he was a religious leader and a very peaceful man because that it was what people in the north thought that he was. She thought after he was killed that he wouldn't have been happy at how the people reacted to his death. Her life changed in that the attitude of people chafed on the issue. She thought that people were in their own worlds far apart but in reality they weren't. She also thought that the whites deserved to give the blacks more credit and stuff that they deserved.
