He was staying at the hotel for trying to help with the striking sanitation workers in the city. His murder had set off riots and outbursts across the nation. This pushed Congress to pass the Fair Housing Act in MLK's honor on April 11. This law made it illegal for sellers, landlords, and financial institutions to refuse service, rent, sell, and provide financial dwelling for everyone. After this was passed some of MLK's followers kept up with the movement which included the Poor People's March in Washington D.C. The Civil Rights Movement was shifting away from the non-violent approach but the changes would not come over the past discrimination and economic oppression that had prevented equality for the longest time.
