As MIA leader, King became the focus of white hatred. On January 30, 1956, the King home was bombed. King had been speaking at a mass meeting at the First Baptist Church. When he heard the news, he told the crowd what happened, and left the church. Nearing his house, King saw blacks brandishing guns and knives, and a barricade of white policemen.
