House bombed! None injured
When Kings house was bombed , he was at a meeting, and his wife and daughter were at home. his home is bombed. Later on King spoke to a angry crowd. I think this is important becasue the non exploded bomb was kind of a warning. -
Unexploded bomb found on the family's porch
A bomb was found on the family's front porch. The reason this is important, is becasue it shows that things werent easy then, and it seems as if people didn't like them. -

Assassination
Martin Luther King Jr. was shot by a sniper bullet, he was standing on a balcony when he was shot. This is important because all he tried to do was protest against violence and he was killed. I think it happened because people knew he was doing good.
