This Friday, April 4th, 40 years ago was the saddest day in
American history. This was the day the life of a great man and
a great leader was selfishly taken. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. was gunned down by James Earl Ray at the Lorraine
Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, while he was preparing to lead a
march for sanitation workers protesting against low wages and
poor working conditions. He was shot as he stood on the
Lorraine Motel balcony and died soon thereafter.

This was the day all of America, actually all black Americans
and many around the world cried and mourned for this
exceptional man who contributed to the civil rights movement,
who was successful in turning protests into crusades and to
translating local conflicts to moral issues nationwide, and
ultimately worldwide. This man with his non-violent leadership
and tactics succeeded with opening America's eyes and
successfully breaking the segregation laws of the south, and
most importantly attained racial and economic justice for
blacks.
