Mourning the Death of Martin Luther King Jr. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968, dashed the hopes of black Americans for the commitment of white America to racial equality. White Americans respected him more than other black leaders, but his opposition to the Vietnam War infuriated many. His continued insistence on nonviolent protests frustrated black activists.

Marsh, who died last week at the age of 91, wasn’t flashy or given to florid oratory. He had long ago tilted at his share of windmills in a […]

In 1977, Marsh became the first Black mayor of Richmond, once the seat of a seditious breakaway government formed to perpetuate the enslavement of Black people. #blackhistoryeveryday
