The King's family saved his life.
Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed in the church by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974). She was 69 years old.
Her killer was a 23-year-old black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but his wife was closer to be reached.
<em>He was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared.</em> The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison after suffering a stroke.
Answer:
24. Drought, flooding rainfalls or severe frosts could wipe out an entire harvest in a major crop-growing region, driving up the demand for crops from other regions. France's food supplies were affected by poor harvests in 1769, 1770, 1775 and 1776.
25. Rising global average temperature is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns. Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change. This chapter focuses on observed changes in temperature, precipitation, storms, floods, and droughts.
26. Bread was the staple food for most French citizens and vitally important to the working class people of the country.
27. Obviously, the causes of the revolution were far more complicated than the price of bread or unfair taxes on salt (just as the American Revolution was about more than tea tariffs), but both contributed to the rising anger toward the monarchy.
28. This had dramatic consequences. The winters were cold and they lasted for a long time. The summers stayed cool and there was an above-average amount of rain.
29. A number of ill-advised financial maneuvers in the late 1700s worsened the financial situation of the already cash-strapped French government. France's prolonged involvement in the Seven Years' War of 1756–1763 drained the treasury, as did the country's participation in the American Revolution of 1775–1783.
31. Throughout the 18th century, France faced a mounting economic crisis. A rapidly growing population had outpaced the food supply.
32. In 1994, American TV company PBS concluded that the French palace could have cost anywhere between $2-300 billion in today's money.
33. Throughout the 18th century, France faced a mounting economic crisis. A rapidly growing population had outpaced the food supply. A severe winter in 1788 resulted in famine and widespread starvation in the countryside. Rising prices in Paris brought bread riots.
34. French Revolution, also called Revolution of 1789, revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789—hence the conventional term “Revolution of 1789,” denoting the end of the ancien régime in France and serving also to distinguish that event from the later French revolutions of 1830 and 1848.
