My memory must be really poor. Dr. Martin Luther King goes down in history, because , he preached non-violence. My memory is there was violence at every town he spoke in. I know there was violence in Evansville, IN. A curfew had to be imposed after his speech. Does anyone else have the same memories that I have?

Your memory is correct

There may have been those who used the occasions for excuses to commit vioence, but I can't recall what you speak of. MLK was for peaceful dissent and, though not a perfect man, he certainly contributed to the spiritual wealth of our nation, IMHO.
