마틴 루터 킹의 암살은 이러한 숱한 흑인 활동들을 촉발시켰으며, 맬컴 X의 죽음은 그 충동을 부채질했고, 잭 케네디와 봅 케네디가 둘다 암살당하자 (그 둘은 출중하게 “선량한 백인”이었다), 흑인들은 실의에 빠졌다.
Martin Luther King’s assassination triggered much of this black activity, the death of Malcolm X added its impetus, and when both Jack and Bob Kennedy were assassinated (they were the outstanding “good white people”), it left blacks feeling hopeless.jw2019 jw2019
