Upon notification of his Nobel win, King announced that he would donate the $54,123 in prize money to further the civil rights movement.King continued to work as an activist and an outspoken advocate of civil rights until he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his hotel room in Memphis, Tennessee.
