February 21, 1965 Malcom was speaking in front of about 400 people when all of a sudden an outburst happens in the audience and when the security is trying to handle that situation 3 men run up on Malcom. One had a sawed off shotgun, the other with handguns and they repeatedly shot him at close range. He was pronounced dead soon after with 21 bullet holes in his chest. Witnesses identified the gun man who were part of the Nation of Islam and all three were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The world could not believe another black leader of the civil rights died a few years after Kennedy and MLK. Many conspiracies came out because of the shadiness of the US case and other factors where it did not seem clear why and who did it as many people were blamed for different reasons.
MLK
April 4, 1968 Martin Luther King was assassinated in a motel from a sniper. He was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, and was pronounced dead at 7:05 p.m. James Earl Ray who was the supposed killer was arrested at an airport carrying a fake Canadian passport trying to flee the country as he was a fugitive and fled prison. He was unfortunately made into martyr and did not see his hard work make any progress after his death. He preached peace and was a very religious figure in the black community and they were all devastated with his death.
JFK
Probably the most conspired assassination as so many theories like the Single Bullet or others have been found on the internet. Some people are more concerned with how it happened rather than an amazing president who helped so many Americans was wrongfully killed out of nowhere from a sniper far away. The investigation ended in them determining Oswald acted alone and Oswald was killed by another man named Ruby who was convicted for that murder. Everyone was still very skeptical as polls conducted from 1966 to 2004 found that up to 80 percent of Americans have suspected that there was a plot or cover-up.
