Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed 47 years ago.
Riots broke out in over 100 cities.
The FBI was tasked with investigating the assassination, but given that the Director, J. Edgar Hoover, hated Dr. King and had tried everything he could think of to destroy his reputation, well, you can guess how hard they looked into it.
As an aside, there's been a lot of criticism about the governor of Missouri and how the lack of response by the National Guard to the second Ferguson riot (the one after the grand jury verdict) may have contributed to some property destruction. Yet nobody got killed, which was not the case with most of the 1968 riots.
