When she started getting emotional and crying that really got to me. What an amazing story. ❤️

@bravebull8738 6 лет назад

S Burch I went to the Lorraine like 10 years ago. I was on a layover at the airport in Memphis and I said lemme catch a cab to the Lorraine while I can. I may never be here again. I got there and it was closed!!! It’s soooo small. Like a Motel 6. So I just stepped over the wall and ran up to a Room 306 and stood there. Wow. What a rush! And then security came running out and yelling at me and I ran back down and jumped into my waiting taxi and went back to the airport...I was like 25 years old...and it was powerful.

I’m so sorry for not only this woman’s pain, but for all of the pain felt by everyone in 1968 when Martin Luther King Jr. passed. When she was asked ‘why did you not think he was going to die’ and she said, “he can’t...” that was because Marin represented the hopes and dreams for millions of people going into the future. Some people tried to end that, but they failed. It never ended with King. God Bless everyone and I hope we can all continue to learn the lessons and seek the better and brighter future that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr wanted for everyone.

When she broke down in tears after holding these memories for so long, I just wanted to console her, hold her and hug her, and have her just let it out. I was blown away by her memories of Dr. King. To actually serve him his meals, and to be able to actually be there throughout the entire course of the day leading to that horrible chain of events. Her story was powerful and she just made me tear up.

@JayBelafonte 6 лет назад

This was during Segregation. Black people owned their own business and schools then, we had so much economical power. That's precisely why they used King who was a Boule chosen man to try and end segregation. The powers that be could not have us being independent. After Segregation ended we lost that foothold and almost all black owned business disappeared. When then became dependent upon others, and gave our finances away to "white" America. The same people that hated us a few years prior. It might sound strange but we could have basically been our own nation within a nation. We gave it all away

MuhfugginMike He started talking about black people setting up their own bank. Plus he began to wonder about whether desegregation was a good idea or not because he realised that they had been disaggregated into a population that hated them. The government only agreed to desegregation in order to turn black people into a consumer only population, to ensure maximum profit. “I Fear I May Have Integrated My People Into a Burning House” - Martin Luther King Jr.

When he spoke out against Vietnam that was his doom. He had too big of a platform and people were starting to listen. He basically got killed for stating what is now an obvious truth. The Vietnam war was a huge mistake that killed or injured over 100 thousand people in the US. Most of which were poor people drafted to be collateral damage for a cause no one is still clear on today.

I will always remember that day. I was 4 years old in kindergarten. The sky was gray and I remembered my teacher telling me “it’s a sad day”. We were sent home early. I had on my favorite dress it was tan with a brown belt. My mother was very involved in politics. She tried to explain to me who he was and why he was killed. I never could understand it in my 4 year old mind. Years later we visited The Loraine Motel. It is an amazing museum that covers the civil rights movement. You are allowed on the ledge, but the room MLK was in is encased in glass. I am grateful for all the sacrifices he made. His life made a difference for all of us today.

dzire89 you must be a young person. Blacks owned a lot of business back in the day. It was segregated then.

We had numerous restaurants, barbershops/ beauty salons which we still are holding on to this day.

@reneehenderson6134 5 лет назад

We used to own most of the black neighborhood businesses. In the early 1970s, they started bringing Middle Easterners into our neighborhoods. We were refused business licenses. Now everything in black neighborhoods is either big franchise-owned or Arab-owned. I think a lot of this was in retaliation for the riots following Dr. King's death.

We heaped so much hope in this man's ability and then to have him taken from us. I can understand her pain and anguish. Here was a man who preached humanity and nonviolence, stolen away from us by a bullet, and we were called brutes and lesser people among other things. It cuts deeply.

God Bless her! I’m sure that memory stays etched in the back of her mind!! Ms. Mary Ellen is part of history!! I cried some watching her tell the story of Dr. King last moments I felt her emotions when she spoke . God Bless her. I’m so glad that she had some great memories of Dr. King!🙏🏽❤️

He did not die from a gunshot wound. He died from the surgeons, not wanting to perform surgery on him. These are the black history facts that DeSantos want you to miss out on.

U sure? Most of this generation can't even take the abuse that's going on now. To be alive there, 99% of millenials would curl up in the fetal position and stay in bed and never come out. . This is the most weak and fragile generation known to man kind. So are you sure you could have handled being alive then?

He was one of the greatest and most influential people IMO and I've always wondered what this country would have been like had Dr. King NOT been assassinated in 1968??? I admire his strength, peacefulness, class, intelligence, and kindness. He truly was one of the greats that our country has produced. It's a shame he was so feared by so many RIP Mr KIng God bless you and thank you for what you did and for your movement. I believe this world is a better place because of you and your death was not in vain!!! Prayers to his family.
