Martin Luther King’s Death & Other Uncomfortable Truths
Forty two-years ago, on April 4, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of a Memphis motel as he prepared to support striking Black sanitation workers there. Although James Earl Ray initially confessed to the crime - he later recanted - doubts about what happened persist. In the late 1990s, former FBI agent Donald Wilson, who investigated the murder, presented evidence he claimed to have found in Ray's car - slips of paper that support charges of a conspiracy involving federal agents.
