On the April 4th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination there will be "Fight Racism, Raise Pay" protests in two dozen U.S. cities.

Fight For $15 and the Movement For Black Lives are joining forces for the protests.

The actions will include thousands of workers, civil rights leaders and elected officials marching to the Lorraine Motel in Memphis demanding higher wages.

It's a cause that Dr. King himself fervently believed in.

 "It is a crime for people to live in this rich nation and receive starvation wages!"
