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.

He was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared. 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.

Why should the government not choose what we watch? Explain your answer with 7 sentences

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The government should not choose what we watch because we have the right to choose for ourselves. The government is dependent on its citizens to get elected, therefore a citizen has to have its own way of knowledge and opinions. We need to watch everything in our surroundings so we can make better choices that might not always benefit the government. The government should not be able to control our knowledge and choices.
