#OnThisDay in 1968, the world was robbed of one of its most profound voices for justice and equality. At 6:01 pm, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was fatally shot on the balcony outside room 306 of the Lorraine Motel.
He was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital and pronounced dead at 7:05 pm.
#DidYouKnow - In 1977, a judge ruled to seal the FBI King files for 50 years? So, these historic documents won't see the light until 2027.
Today, as we reflect on April 4th, let us be reminded that the fight for justice and equality is not over. Let's honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by reaffirming our commitment to the enduring principles of peace, equality, and social justice.
