One of the greatest and bravest men in history. Beyond sad that the most ignorant and worthless people in the world can take away the lives of men like that.
I bet you have heard the line "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play".. That is often quoted and chuckled at. Why can't we have fun with Dr. King and his wife???
Cronkite's news reporting - remarkable. In times of tension, no News anchor was better. Cronkite's words and delivery could console the nation. President Johnson once remarked, once he lost Cronkite, then President Johnson knew he had lost the Vietnam War.
To be honest as a movie director, screenwriter, producer I want this for a historical movie🎬🎬🎬🎬🎥🎥🎥 I want to inform ( educate) people on what happen to MLK this is very important
In life they could not stop him, they could not keep him down. In death they could not stop him, they could not keep him down. The power of love, the power of unity, the power of character surpasses the power of the world and any of it's evils. Thanks be to God for the good example of this noble man, MLK.
"In honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.’s memory we also acknowledge non-violence as a truly powerful weapon to achieve equality and liberation--in fact, the only weapon that Christians who struggle for social change can claim as their own....Examine history. Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution? The poor, the workers. The people of the land are the ones who give their bodies and don’t really gain that much for it. We believe it is too big a price to pay for not getting anything. Those who espouse violence exploit people. To call men to arms with many promises, to ask them to give up their lives for a cause and then not produce for them afterwards, is the most vicious type of oppression" ---Cesar Chavez, He Showed Us The Way
I believe this was a second feed of the "CBS Evening News", normally seen only on the West Coast, but was broadcast network-wide (somewhere around 9 P.M. Eastern time?). Cronkite was in Washington that evening; I think he had been at Cape Canaveral that morning for the second test launch of the Saturn 5 rocket (although I don't know if CBS carried it live that morning) and may have gone to D.C. because that may have been the only way he could prepare and do the "Evening News" in-time for the East Coast feed (6:30 P.M. Eastern time).
@@plezful I know it's one year later but he did not say the killing was successful. He said the attempt was successful. An insensitive way of delivering the news but not a racist statement.
Sonya Bennetone Allegedly Jesse Jackson called her the original story was they told Jesse not to make the phone call he was not as close to Dr. King as Ralph Abernathy from the beginning Jesse Jackson was an opportunist!!!!!
