Remembering MLK's Assassination
On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed in Memphis. To mark the 40th anniversary of the catastrophic assassination, Time has compiled the accounts of the last surviving aides of King—each of whom was within ten feet of their leader when the single shot ended his life.
Shockingly, the aides—Andrew Young, Jesse Jackson, James Bevel, and Samuel "Billy" Kyles—say that despite witnessing everything that unfolded that evening, "no authority from the Memphis Police, the Tennessee State Police or the FBI have ever asked them a single question."

MLK and my daughter
I never noticed it before. It has been there for a while. This picture of Martin Luther King Jr on our fridge door. I hardly look at the fridge door, but there it was. Amongst all the fridge magnets and numbers and pictures of the kids. But what made me stop was that the picture was of a white Martin Luther King Jr. My young daughter made this great man white. And I couldn’t be prouder. I think he would be proud. I know she will continue to live his dream. http://angryafrican.net/2008/03/16/martin-luther-king-jr-is-white/
