Over 100,000 mourners came on April 9, 1968, to say their final farewells to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It has been more than a half century since the 39-year-old Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel as he worked for justice for the striking Memphis sanitation workers.
I delight that we have not let Martin Luther King’s Jr. life fade into obscurity, but I believe his burial may offer a better opportunity to rededicate ourselves to his cause of nonviolent social justice action. Over 100,000 mourners came on April 9, 1968, to say their final farewells. It was only five days after James Earl Ray, who was still unknown and at large, killed King. Mays would tell mourners, “The American people are in part responsible for Martin Luther King Jr.’s death. The assassin heard enough condemnation of King and of Negroes to feel that he had public support. He knew that millions hated King.
