On Thursday, April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King III was sitting at home in Atlanta with his siblings, watching the news, when a news bulletin flashed across their TV screen: Their father, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., had just been assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn.
It was this memory King shared as he and his wife issued an urgent call to action to protect democracy on the 56th anniversary of his father’s murder.
“At that moment, obviously, our hearts started beating very fast and our lives would change forever,” King said Thursday. He and his wife, Arndrea Waters King, spoke to a room full of reporters at the National Civil Rights Museum — the same site where his father was shot.
But 56 years after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, Waters King said the nation has still not fought the three evils he preached against: racism, poverty and war.

F off - DIE IS racism.
I skimmed the article. This guy sounds like a racist. We don’t need people like him.
The 1960s were the beginning of the end for America, when political assassinations and the deep state were normalized, JFK, MLK, and RFK were all killed by what I believe was power that actually runs this country
Throw in people like George Wallace that was nearly assassinated and since that time we’ve colla
Don’t forget, before JFK, RFK and MLK were assassinated, they were all targets of FBI/CIA abuse. They all got the Trump Treatment as Trump might get the CIA 60s treatment solution.
I think that’s the ultimate way the deep state gets rid of Trump is thru what happened in the 1960s, especially if all these prosecutions don’t work
As many here no doubt recall, democracy is best described as two wolves and a sheep voting on the dinner menu.
Mlk, Jr was a Christ dying, commie coddling, faulse justice preaching, woman beating fraud.

Whatever you think of him, he was a major political figure who was killed IMO by the deep state. James Earl Ray was not smart enough to pull of the assassination and then get out of the country, remember he was captured in the UK.

I was 13 and not three miles away from the 1967 Detroit race riots.
I left that stinkin’ city and state in 1972 and never looked back.
Mao Tse-Tung, Josef Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin Dada were all “major political figures”.
He believed everything that the deep state believed. Hewas a faulse prophet, and J. Edgar Hoover knew it. He was perfectly fine being funded by commies.
So it’s okay for the government to kill him ?? regardless of who he is, which IMO is what happened.
I’ll never forget April 4,1968. I heard the news and rushed from my dorm at Howard University to Georgia Avenue- the main thoroughfare, to see what was going on. I remember the shock at seeing everything down that street - ablaze! I remember going closer and being surrounded by throngs of looters that were angry. One touching moment was when a Mom tugged at her son’s shirt begging him not to go in a store. He told her he was going in there for her! It was wrong. It was misguided but there was such a force of anger that fueled the violence that occurred that night that honestly equated to them being out of control due to the manifestation of heartbreak. Our leader was murdered!
That moment was different from current Antifa “fake riots” we see today. I just wish the anger from ‘68 could have been harnessed to seek change and to get us where many Blacks ( at least 20%) are now- wanting to work within the political system to make this country great again!

I don’t think they did. That man did more damage then anyone else to the black community with his faulse social gospel than anyone else. No tears for his death
We will have to agree to disagree, IMO James Earl Ray was a stooge to stupid to pull of the assassination, then get out of the country and finally get arrested in the UK two weeks later .
As far as what MLK did to the black community, good luck selling your version to anyone.
