The King assassination falls into two categories: the lone assassin-" theory, in which James Earl Ray acted alone in carrying out the, deadly assault upon King's life, and the conspiracy theory. "In the early' 1970s a poll was taken and only one of five Americans believed that James Earl Ray acted alone in the assassination of Dr. King," notes Baldwin. "Most Americans tended to lean toward the conspiracy theory, feeling that the FBI and other governmental forces were somehow involved in the masterminding ... and implementation of this tragedy."
Most scholars agree that King was assassinated by James Earl Ray, says Baldwin, "although Ray wrote a book entitled Who Killed Martin Luther- King? in which he contends that he was not responsible for Dr. King's death."
William Bradford Huey wrote a book in 1968 called. He killed the Dreamer. "The title of the book was indicative of the conclusion he drew concerning Ray's responsibility for Dr. King's death." Huey argued that Ray killed King to get attention and recognition, observes Dr. Baldwin.
Anna Ray does not believe justice is being served in the death of King. Before her recent divorce, Anna Ray was married to James Earl Ray for 15 years. She was a courtroom artist for a CBS affiliate in Knoxville when she met him during the taping of a CBS News documentary. She married Ray because she felt he was innocent and had, been "set up" by conspirators and railroaded" into prison. She later changed her mind after Ray told her he had killed King and threatened to kill her. In discussing the events surrounding King's death, Ray admitted his guilt with the statement: "Yeah, I killed him. But what if I did; I never got a trial," she quotes James Earl Ray.
"This was long after we had been married and it was by telephone." She says she met Ray's brother, Jerry Ray, two years after her marriage to James, and had she known Jerry Ray before her marriage "there never would have been a marriage."Jerry Ray lived with J.B. Stoner in Marrietta, Georgia," she explains,and Mr. Stoner ... was arrested for the bombing of a church in the Deep South in which several black children were killed. Jerry Ray made a comment in my home that Adolf Hitler was a great man and more famous than Jesus Christ. He said that the United States of America should do the same thing with the black people that Hitler did with the Jews in Germany," Part 2

    The book was published in March 6, 2002 by University Press Florida. Dr. Al-Hadid and Baldwin are trying to generate an interfaith dialogue, one of the central themes in the book, even though they are using Dr. King and EL Shabazz as characters, the broader context is the inner faith dialogue. The two can be used as sources of dialogue for Christians and Muslims to break down barriers that separate them.

    In part 3 of this video Dr. Al hadid and Dr. Baldwin give details about their book and how they want other Christians and Muslims to view on how they can relate to each other.
