Eyes on the prize America at the racial crossroads. The Promised land, 1967-1968

Moved by the increasing level of poverty, Dr. Martin Luther King, in the final year of his life, began to organize a Poor People's Campaign, a march of the poor to Washington, D.C., where they would erect Resurrection City to embarrass and motivate a reluctant government. On April 4, 1968, Dr. King was assassinated. Soon after its construction, Resurrection City was shut down, marking the end of a chapter of the civil rights movement.

  • "Martin Luther King stakes out new ground for himself and for the rapidly fragmenting civil rights movement. One year before his death, he publicly opposes the war in Vietnam. His Southern Christian Leadership Conference embarks on an ambitious Poor People's Campaign. In the midst of political organizing, King detours to Memphis to support striking sanitation workers and is assassinated. King's death and the failure of his final campaign mark the end of a major stream of the movement."
  • "Martin Luther King, Jr. expands his influence within the rapidly fragmenting civil rights movement, opposes the war in Vietnam and launches through his Southern Christian Leadership Conference a program called the Poor People's Campaign. Finally, he is assassinated in Memphis, bringing to an end a major stream of the movement."@en
