The assassination
of Martin Luther King Jr. shocked the world. It was in 1968, for sure.
When he died, he
was the symbol of the civil rights movement in America and also the leader of
American blacks. Who could think to kill
this guy, who received the Nobel Peace Prize when he was just 35? Well, as it
happened with John Kennedy, somebody did
it. In 1968, you bet.
What? The man who
was named Man of The Year by Time magazine five years before was shot in 1968?
Yes, by “somebody” called James Earl Ray, an international man-hunt. Why? We
can imagine why.
Martih Luther King
Jr. was shot just once in a motel in
Memphis, planning the poor people march on Washington that was scheduled for
the end of that April. Of 1968, no
doubt.
It was such a
surprise! But there was much more to go, so (or even more) shocking than that
crime.
We were in 1968,
remember?
