Post Description

April 4, 1968, and Martin Luther King is gunned down on the balcony of a hotel 
in Memphis, Tennessee. The catalyst that would lead to his assassination began 
three months before his death, when the city's sanitation workers went on 
strike. Realising that this might be a seminal moment in the civil rights 
movement, scholars at the University of Memphis started to collect every piece 
of media they could find - television, radio and print. 

Unbelievably, most of this remarkable footage hasn't been seen since 1968. Now, 
for the first time, it has been chronologically reassembled, bringing to life 
as never before the tumultuous events surrounding one of the most shocking 
assassinations in America.
