After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968, riots broke out in more than 100 cities across the United States. The National Guard was called in to help bring order to the streets. Additionally, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the Fair Housing Act, which aimed to prevent discrimination in housing based on race, religion, or national origin.

The Black Panther Party also gained prominence as a more militant voice for African American rights during this time.
