| Martin Luther King Jr. at Lorraine Motel |
I used to drive by the Lorraine Motel in Memphis where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at 6:05 P.M. on Thursday, 4 April 1968. He was shot by James Earl Ray, who was sentenced to 99 years in prison. My curiosity was not over the shooting, but rather how someone could do such a thing. I was naive then, but time has taught me that regardless of all the laws and good deeds of political leaders and others, racism seems to survive and is currently running rampant today. It is impossible to know now, but one can only hope that this won't be worse in four years.
