April 4, 1968.
I was at the end of my 4th grade year.
Dr. (and Reverend) Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated by
James Earl Ray, at a motel in Memphis, Tennessee.
He was a Civil Rights activist, especially for
African Americans.
He was also famous for his
"I Have A Dream" speech in Washington D.C.
I have a very vivid memory of this event.
He was on the network news all the time.
(Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley were the
news anchors . . . no one ever matched them!)
Today.
April 4, 218.
Fifty years!
Getting old.
*Sigh*
Thank you for your service.
