the interview I did with my grandfather, Randall T., we discussed about the time when Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. He was 9 years old when that happened. He lived right off summer ave. His neighborhood was very diverse, quite, and everyone got along. Memphis in 1968 was a clean, safe, nice place to live. He would go to school, go home, do his homework, and outside. They didn't do a lot at that time. He remembers how shocking it was when he find out how King was assassinated. The whole house where he lived at was on edge. The city was terrible when they found out. There was shooting and rioting. Everyone was just scared for what else might happen. My grandfather always thought that King was a good guy. He thought people's attitudes changed a lot when they found out. Finally, He wishes King haven't been assassinated.
