Overview

Certain events dramatically alter the course of human history, and some of these events also break our hearts and spirit. One such event was the assassination of equality and peace-maker Martin Luther King, Jr., by a cowardly racist. The essays found here, which are carefully edited and introduced to provide context, explain the background and controversies surrounding the assassination. Readers will also learn about the current implications and long-lasting effects. First person narratives take this learning opportunity further, by allowing readers to feel for themselves as if they were there too. Readers will hear from Coretta Scott King, James Baldwin, and Robert F. Kennedy, among others.
