Martin Luther King's Assassination

Civil Rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr. was killed Monday evening, while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. King was pronounced dead before he arrived to the hospital. The bullet went through his cheek, traveled down his spine, before lodging his shoulder. The impact of the bullet killed him instantly. His assassin has not been found, but if anyone has any information please contact your local police.

Great idea for a news story to re-write. I liked the message board again. Maybe a link to some of his writings as well.
