The Anniversary of a Very Sad Day.. April 4, 1968

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day we lost a great man. Life magazine looks back with some never before seen photos.

Here is a gallery of shots that were taken just after the tragedy that struck us all April 4th, 1968. Yes it was 41 years ago today we lost the man who was Dr. Martin Luther King.



I think often about how he lived and what he would think now. Some say he wouldn't approve of Pres. Obama because of his stance on the war, because he was a peaceful man. I don't think anyone can really know that.

I would like to think he was a wise enough man to know that sometimes defense in needed. Yes, Iraq was wrong, yes, Viet Nam was wrong. But, just as in WWII with Japan when they attacked us in Hawaii, al-Qa'ida attacked us.

I don't know.. I guess we may never know.
