There’s still a lot of racism in the communi- ties and I’m not sure how you can ever make that go away.” King assassination was April 4, 1968 The poll was taken about six weeks ahead of the 50th anniversary of King’s death. King was shot and killed April 4, 1968, out- side his second-floor room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Ten- nessee, by segregation- ist James Earl Ray. King has since been acknowl- edged as an American hero for his quest for freedom, justice, equal- ity and peace among all races.

In the comment, writ- ten weeks before her passing, Taiyania re- ferred to her mother back then,” he said. “The way minorities were treated, drinking at sep- arate fountains, eating at separate restaurants, and sitting on certain parts of the bus, stuff like that, police beating on them, that just made no sense.” Republicans see progress more than Democrats In general, 54 percent of Republicans and just 14 percent of Democrats think most or all of the goals of the civil rights movement have been achieved. That ranged from 76 percent of Republicans and 46 percent of Dem- ocrats saying there has been a lot of progress on voting rights, to 43 per- cent of Republicans and 9 percent of Democrats saying there has been a lot of progress on fair treatment by police.
