I remember that day. I had just turned 9 the day before.
....I was just finishing up basic training
I remember it well. I was just shy of 17. Lived about an hour’s drive from Memphis. For the most part Memphis was closed for business.
Damn it, he didn’t earn a doctorate. He engaged is massive a ademuc fraud. Stop referring to him as “Doctor”, HE DID NOT EARN A DOCTORATE!!!
That’s what I get for typing angry...
Back in the early 1990s (when I was a university student), I read an article (or perhaps it was a documentary)that discussed about how both MLK and RFK were planning a large demonstration like the 1963 Million Man March that was going to be for getting the United States out of Vietnam and also for black rights. Apparently many establishment Dems like LBJ and others and their friends in the FBI saw this planned demonstration as a threat and acting on this threat was a likely theory as to why both men were shot dead within the space of two months.
He also only cheated on his wife with white women.
Apparently he was awarded a doctorate, and Boston U. decided not to take it away from him in spite of plagiarism.

Well, he did earn a PhD. The PC police won’t take it away. The committee that investigated it said the dissertation still made substantial acedemic contribution. I do have, however, zero doubts they would have taken away mine.
His name was Michael King.
He was not an actual minister.
He liked to beat white prostitutes as part of the sex act.
That’s why the tapes have not been released, is my opinion.
Now that he’s dead 50 years, isn’t it time to release his FBI file?
And his legal name is Michael....
I was in the last few weeks of “A” School at the NTC San Diego. His shooting didn’t affect me one way or another. I was more concerned about what my next duty station would be. Later on a few shipmates and I attended a rally for George Wallace and Curtis LeMay. I think I still have the Wallace/LeMay license plate that I bought for a dollar at the event. General LeMay was an advocate of using nukes on enemies in situations where lots of our men would likely die if the choice was ground warfare. Wonder what nuking Hanoi might have resulted in besides a lot of dead gooks?
Michael row the boat ashore.
Grease man had some things to say about Mike King.
King David had his glaring flaws too yet God used him. MLK was no angel but his message of non-violence and character taking precedence over skin color were instructional themes to live by. My beef is with those who celebrate him but don’t live by the themes he preached.
Boston University disagrees with you.
