Martin Luther King, Jr., came to Memphis in late March to support sanitation workers who were striking for better wages and working conditions. When a peaceful march turned violent, Dr. King pledged to come back to Memphis to finish the march as part of his lifelong commitment to non-violent action. He returned to Memphis on April 3rd and that night, in the midst of a terrible storm, he delivered his “Mountaintop” speech at the Mason Temple. The next day, April 4th, he was fatally shot while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. This presentation with Dr. Joseph Favazza will discuss Dr. King’s work and death in Memphis through the reflection and memory of a 13-year old white boy who grew up there. A presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
