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.

Marina86 [1]

"The purpose of <u>National Organization for Women</u> is to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men."

NOW is dedicated to the proposition that women, first and foremost, are human beings, who, like all other people in society, must have the chance to develop their fullest human potential. This organization believed that women could achieve such equality only by accepting to the full the challenges and responsibilities they shared with all other people in society, as part of the decision-making mainstream of American political, economic and social life.
