The King's family saved his life and spared him the death penalty.

Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed during a church service 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, college drop-out, 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 he aimed at his wife because she was seated closer to him.

Chenault 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 some years later after suffering a stroke.

Which plot would be the most effective disguise for an artist to speak out against pet overpopulation
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.  

Explanation:

According to the Short Story, A young hippopotamus (hippo) tells his story of growing so fast and so big that no home could hold him. In this manner he would be free to sets out on his own to survive.

Here, the hippo is used as a representation for animal population and if the population grows just like the hippo did, countries won't be able to accommodate them so they will go on their own like the hippo, which can cause many bad things from destroying the ecosystem, to attacking people, or anything similar.

Which fact is the BEST piece of supporting evidence that overproduction and falling prices was a cause of the Great Depression?
Natali5045456 [20]

The correct answer is letter C.

From the beggining of the 20th century to the start of World War II there was a huge rollercoaster happening in the wheat business.

The prices climbed sharply before World War I and peaked after its end. European farm production was able to guarantee years of low prices and the American agriculture was deemed to a great depression even before the stock market crash of 1929. The prices climbed in the mid-1930s and then plunged again. Not until World War II did America sustained increases in price and demand.
