to kill Martin. It all began at 6:01pm on Thursday, April 4 1968, in Memphis ,Tenessee while King was standing on the motel’s balcony on the second floor. He was shoot by a single 30-06 bullet fired from a Renington 760 Gamemaster. The shoot came from a building infront of the motel . During thate time King went to Memphis in support of striking African Americans santation workers. The African American’s were protesting uneaqual wages and working conditions . at the time, Memphis paid black workers significantly lower wages than whites. Memphis was a real bad place to black back then the whites were very races towereds them. The civil rights movement was all over the place , also segrgation was going on blacks couldn’t go in white only shops and other places. In those times Memphis was a growing city a music industry was emurging public facilites were opening everywhere . it was becoming an industrial city . it was the era of change all over the world . India was becoming a nation again because og Gondi and his non-violent ways .
James Earl Ray was a common criminal who was in and out of trouble with authorities for many years .Ray helped a man named “Raul” smuggle unknown objects into the U.S. from Canadian soul. Raul also requested that ray purchase a motel Room, and rifle and ask no questions about its purpose. After getting the room and the rifle Ray was supposed to wait for Raul to arrive. Once Raul arrived Ray handed over the rifle and never heard or saw Raul again. Ray was later convicted when the gun was found and traced back to him. In this theory the two men met at the motel room and once again the gun was handed over to Raul. The two men drove over to Lorraine Motel and Raul commanded that Ray waited in the car. Raul snatched the gun from Ray and ran off without another word. A shot was fired and Raul came running to the car done in and demanded that Ray quickly drive away. In Memphis, Tennessee there was a bar called “Jim’s Grill”.
A man named Lloyd Jowers owned this bar. He was paid by movie producer Frank Libretto to hire someone to take out MLK Jr . . However the hit man hired to kill was not Raul or Ray.(jgndjgdigj)
The fourth theory and final theory that will be mentioned involves a government conspiracy. The government hired Ray to commit the murder but just to insure MLK dies a team of Green Berets were set up around the Lorraine Motel. To insure the secrecy of this operation, the leader of the Green Berets Billy Edison was killed. However this conspiracy is false because Billy is still alive. Martin Luther King Jr. was an outstanding man, who accomplished many things in his 39-years of lifetime. Today there is a monument at the Lorraine Motel to show appreciation for MLK Jr. No mater who killed King they can never take away the footprint King left during his short life. Conspiracies are just oppinions we might never know who really killed King or who was behind it . And in my opppinion the government felt threaten by kings ways and how he was making a difference even white folks could see. I think Raul was hired by the government to kill King , but he also had to fined someone with a criminal record so he could take the blame of King’s assassination
