Democracy Now! Special: Martin Luther King's Life and Legacy 40 Years After His Assassination
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated forty years ago today. He was in Memphis, Tennessee to march with sanitation workers demanding a better wage. We spend the hour on his life and legacy. We hear from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was with King at the Lorraine Motel, where he was killed; Harry Belafonte, who was with Coretta Scott King at the King home in Atlanta on April 4, 1968; Dr. Vincent Harding, a close friend and colleague of King's who wrote King's major antiwar speech, "Beyond Vietnam;" Taylor Rogers, a former sanitation worker in Memphis; Charles Cabbage, a longtime activist and community organizer in Memphis who met with King hours before he died; Jerry Williams, one of the only African American detectives in the Memphis Police Department in 1968; Judge D'Army Bailey, a circuit court judge in Memphis and co-founder of the National Civil Rights Museum; and we hear King in his own words, giving his major speech against the war in Vietnam and his last public address given the night before his death in Memphis, Tennessee.

MACE THE NATION!
The best way to honor MLK's sacred memory is to hand-print food stamps and distribute them in El Paso as frijoleros cross the border.

@mia33134: As all Repuclicans do, but with little boys! So they cheated, does this mean that they had to be killed? They were not killed for cheating...

Yawn... Video reminders about MLK, JFK & RFK are so overdone. Does anyone remember how all 3 were unfaithful?
That's right, ALL 3 committed adultery.
