This video includes an edited version of a live performance Nina Simone gave on April 7th, 1968, three days after Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in Memphis on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. The date of April 4th, 1968 remains one of the saddest in American history. When the King family were finally able to bring to civil trial a case against Loyd Jowers, the media ignored the event and the testimony it brought to light. In reading the jury's verdict, the judge said, "In answer to the question did Loyd Jowers participate in a conspiracy to do harm to Dr. Martin Luther King, your answer is yes. Do you also find that others, including governmental agencies, were parties to this conspiracy as alleged by the defendant? Your answer to that one is also yes." DL


You may wish to turn up the volume just a little, as the track is of slightly lower volume than normal.
