The announcement alone was sufficient to trigger the violence that followed King’s death. These floodgates of violent action of retribution for the blood of this leader would require the efforts of the US Army before they could be put to a halt. But the damage was already done.
It is common sense that the oratory skills of King made him who he was and that helped to shape the course of the struggle for racial equality. King’s oratory skills provided fuel to the black people’s struggle for equality and without him on the team that sought to change America, the results would have been different. It should be brought to the attention of the reader that King was not primarily responsible for the creation of NAACP, the black organisation that was the driving force behind the efforts to achieve equality for all in America. His oratory skills brought him to the fore because the movement needed a person of his calibre to raise the impetus and momentum that was needed to rally all black people in that country to support the action. When this happened, the government paid even more attention because his oratory skill and charisma were a destabilising factor to the current political status of America then.
