Who murdered Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4th, 1968?

If you actually research what happened to King, you'll find that his murder wasn't so cute and dry. Remember, the victors write history, and MANY times the victors are Liars, Educated Manipulators, Cheaters, Thieves, and will do just about ANYTHING to further themselves. With that said, I will ALWAYS question the 'Truth' that is written and spread by the Powers That Be because MOST of the time, they're lies masquerading as Truth. May King rest in peace knowing that there are still a few of us that care about the Real history of our lives.

in a trailbin 1999. The government was found guilty in a memphis courtroom. it is the only murder trial ever held for MLKjr. James Earl Ray only confessed to the crime because the fbi tricked him into it saying he would never get a fair trial if he didnt. He swore he didnt do it all the way to his dying day in prison. Look it up.

IHateEvery1, That is so far from the truth. I don't know where you got your facts from but these are opinions posing as facts. Plus, your comment suggests an lack of first hand knowledge of the social context in which King emerged as a leader for civil rights. In fact one of his criticisms was that people were always telling him that it " it was not the right time", and his question was that if "NOW was not the right time then WHEN"? His timing for his peaceful organized marches were in response to the rallies and laws that were being acted out and supported by bigoted institutions and organizations. If not Now, then When? Comparing King and his followers to a terrorist group is a gross accusation, and demonstrates your ignorance of the facts.

he died way to soon. whoever killed him will not receive a moment of peace or forgiveness unless their is repentance. All life matters. live each day like it is your last. love one another then their would be no room for hate.

An amazing man who set the bar high. Examples like Ghandi and Mother Teresa similarly taught us how to love and live by example.

CrunchyRanger73814, does that mean that if one person kills another that it depends on who it was to what he gets? does it matter if it's jew in the holocaust or a bank teller or a president?
leo
Webfish, the CIA did it
Okie Redhead
Webfish, I'm not singling you out for defending James Earl Ray, but he's not the first nor last to swear that he didn't do "it" until their dying day in prison. (Whether "it" is murder, robbery or whatever, most say that.)

I remember I was 11 and we had a peaceful March from the top of Main Street to our church which was the African Methodist Episcopal Church for a program honoring him.

It does not matter who killed him. We will never know the whole truth. It matters that his message, struggle & fight lives on. Losing him was a travesty of humanity; losing the message, the struggle & the fight is even more so! Fruition of the message will be the Victory!

I'm disappointed that I never got to meet such an amazing man

I'm trying very hard NOT to give assassins any space in my memory. They don't deserve it.
Byrde Alpha Bitch
Webfish, Well, so did Lee Harvey Oswald said he was a patsy & was innocent up until the moment he died too. Does that mean he was or was not guilty? Similar circumstances.

chica..., That is NOT what ALL "White Men &/OR People" want. That too is racist.

Dr.Strange, Please pontificate elsewhere, this is not the forum for that.

Webfish, You are absolutely correct. There is a book also written by the families attorney who represented them in the trial. Facts

People are racist in this world..and if you ever watched the movie about him it was so heartbreaking, today the world is still like this..
White people might say, "White lives matter most", black people might "Black lives matter the most" but we see commercials were even on kid friendly shows it just says "Black lives matter". Nevertheless, some people say "All lives matter, it doesn't matter if your blue, purple green, black, white 🫵 YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERNCE"
Rest in Peace MLK Jr.

GnarlySpringHer28, Who exactly was the victor when Dr. King was murdered? By my reckoning, the entire country and every one of us lost something huge that day.

Player #1961991, It amazes me the number of people in the world who claim to love Jesus and then thumbs down people who are being Jesus’ eyes, hands, and voice in the world. Don’t you get it? That’s the only way it works.
Alpo
Don't use a murderer as a trivia question, you're just glorifying their actions.
