40 years ago today, an assassin taught the world to hate

40 years ago today (DTJ Blog)

Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s last speech. Certainly one of his most well known and rousing oratory masterpieces in which he prophetically predicted his own death. He was killed by an assassin’s bullet 40 years ago today.
He wasn’t even supposed to speak that day. His best friend Ralph Abernathy was to take his place because, King thought, there would be a small turnout due to Memphis storms. In the end, the people wouldn’t leave until King spoke. No one, seemingly, knew it would be his last appearance, except for him.
