Answer:

As an immediate reaction to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968, a wave of riots in different American cities took place, although the most significant riots took place in Washington DC.

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968, just four years after the signing of the Civil Rights Act and with a country still divided by racial segregation. The African-American community in Washington DC reacted violently to the news and for three days maintained a protest that devastated part of the city.

13 people died, hundreds were injured and 7,600 were arrested. It took more than 13,000 members of the Army, the Marine Corps and the National Guard to regain control of the city.

Hitler was popular among his people because not only were they looking for a scapegoat to blame for their problems, but because in their eyes he was fixing Germany’s problems and making her into a powerful nation once more. Schools should cover the Holocaust so that the children of today can learn from the mistakes of yesteryears, and prevent such from happening again in our times. We can prevent such from happening again from teaching children the mistakes that lead to the genocide of ~6 million people, like the acceptance of violence and discrimination, the political manipulation of anger, scapegoating, and the unchecked thrive if the extreme far-right. Some people could deny the Holocaust because they can’t comprehend the scale, that six million people could be slaughtered in just a few years, or that they outright refuse to accept the facts for what they are. Yes, I believe that the Nazi soldiers were rightly arrested and charged for their war crimes, even though they were “only following their orders”. They could have easily refused such roles or refuse to follow their orders, but they chose to save themselves from their own death by allowing the deaths of six million people. People such as Oskar Schindler and Major Karl Plagge show that they did not have to blindly follow their orders, that they could use their morals and conscience to see what they were doing was horrible and inhuman.
