I was a teenager when this tragedy happened, I was living I colorado at the time, but the mood of the country at that time was very somber, despite the fact that Vietnam was at its peak. This uneccesary & horrible event shook this country to its very foundation, I can remember wathcing his funeral service on television, seeing his widow Coretta Scott King struggling to hold her emotions in check was a very moving experience. Mrs King was a very strong woman who over the years had earned a great deal of respect not just because she was Dr King's widow but because she was a strong woman in her own right. After this I think the entire country changed its way of thinking. The civil rights movement gained even more momentum. What a sad & tragic day it was, and who would have guessed that just days later Sen Robert Kennedy would also be assasinated in Los Angeles, 1968 was NOT a good year.
MLK….MILK Different but similar. My heart sinks the same in either case.
