How about they go find the Memphis police sharp shooter that killed king
Marcus Mullings thank Almighty that the shooter is not among the living, no man lives forever. The evil mans do live after them.
He was not that sharp of a shooter , King was alive in the hospital before they smothered him .
Judge Joe brown has a video here on TH-cam speaking some facts about the trial before Oswald's death in Memphis(A trial that is). Judge Brown being interviewed, dont remember by whom.
He was not murder by the sharp shooter
@Anne Phair Ms. Phair, please see the trilogy of books written by an attorney who was also a close friend of Dr. King. The first was book was recommended by Dexter, Dr. King's youngest son. It is titled 'Orders to Kill.' Thr author's name is William Pepper. The scholarly research culminated after more than 20 years resulted in two more books. They are "An Act of State", and "The Plot to Kill King."😭❤🙏🙏
Small kindness and concern we show to people when they are in ugly situations matters a lot.
I in 2019 am glad that Dr. Martin Luther king jr. Didn't sneeze. His message is as important now as it was then.
Joel Williams yes racism is worst!!!
I agree totally!💖 Who knows you can find yourself in my point of view, a little above yours to be found. 😏 God bless, have a Nice Day🌄‼️
Godddd! STOP wp!
Even in 2021. That anointing doesn't wash off with time
Just because you found Kepler's similar letter and you have not found the 9th grader's letter, does not mean the 9th grader's letter did not exist. Cam McWhirter try asking females who were 9th graders at White Plains High School from 1958 to 1968.
Devil busy
Well Praise God, the white ladies letter was found, was the 9th grader a lil blk girl? Praise God for the speech ☝ Thank U Jesus for the speaker👋😇
That letter may have meant so much to him that he kept it separate and eventually lost it. I doubt very seriously if they have every piece of material he received. Things can always get misplaced and lost.
Just another thought..
Ministers often create a story in a sermon to make a point. This could have occurred as well.
Thats the same thing i was thinking. There was probably many people that was saying "Im glad you didnt sneeze" But King quoted the one with 9th grade white girl.
By talking about the thought that letter didnt come from a 9th grade white girl is people still trying to take away from his historical sermon this was a great man he also was a preacher an they have been known to move things around to make the point in the sermon people don't be shallow about the greatness of this man also the bravery it took to go out in public knowing people wanted to kill him see how long any of the people making sad comments would stand on public knowing this no they would be to busy hiding not that it matters im a 47 year old white man
RIP
"He quotes a letter that doesn't exist"
Says who? Just because you didn't find the letter from the teenage girl doesn't mean it didn't exist. The internet has proven that people come up with similar phases often hence the reason for registering domain names. Just because you found a letter containing the phrase " I'm glad you didn't sneeze" does not conclusively prove that there wasn't another one. And if, by chance, Dr. King did misquote one of the many letters that he undoubtedly received and that he took the time to read while hard at work changing the free world, SO WHAT!
Dr. King did more in one month of his life for the cause of humanity than the producers of this video will achieve if they all live to be 200 years old. In my view, when the individuals in this video and those that produced it demonstrate a willingness to sacrifice their very lives for the good of mankind, as Dr. King did, then and only then will they qualify to critique any aspect of Dr. King's life in any credible way. And if this video is their best contribution to humanity thus far, then they clearly have a long long way to go. smh
p.s.
Some people have way too much free time on their hands.
True. Dr. King could've kept the letter himself.
Facts
The letter was found she. Was.nota child but was a adult. Woman.
right that is what I said also.why would someone of dr kings stature make up something like that.
Well, it was not in the documents searched
It may one day be discovered!
But might have had existed and gotten trashed.
King did not say he valued the evidence,
But he apparently embraced the message....end.
I had my car radio on 101.1 last night and this speech was on. I had never heard this story and im 57 yrs old. I grew up during the Civil Rights Movement and i dont remember any news stations discussing the movement. I wasnt taught by my parents to be racist.I bet this great man would be pleased that hes being honored,not just the 50th yr anniv. ,but on a daily basis with most folks. The flip side is that he would be very disappointed with the gun violence and unnecessary killings that have happened in recent years. I hope that im blessed to be able to meet this awesome man in Heaven. 🙏😇
@Eliza Grogan lol nope that's white bigots revisions of mlk. You generalize "blacks" for what some do. That is racism no matter how much you scream it's not, it still is. I will never let a bigot keep me from being happy or doing what I want but I will call them out always.
America was built off slavery and this is not white peoples land remember it was stolen from the indians
Eliza Grogan Our Situation Is Much Different Because Long After Slavery Into This Day There Are Forces Working Strategically To Push The Black Community In To Bondage This Is America There Has To Be Crime And There Has To Be A Common Enemy In Order To Bring The Other Side Together With Out The Blacks In America This Country Would Fall Apart And Some Times I Dont Think It’s Strictly A Race Thing it’s More Of A Way To Maintain Structure This County Doesn’t Know How To Sustain With Out Blacks It Has Never Been A Time In It’s History That We Where Not Presents As Either The Enemy Of The States Or The Victim Of The States Either Way A Common Hate Makes You Love The Guy That Hayes What You Hate If There Where No Blacks In America Who Would Then Be Enemy Number One Who Would Populate The Prison System That Generates So Much Income Who’s Community Would They Have Destroyed In The illegal Funding Of The Nicaragua War When The CIA Introduced Crack Cocaine In To The Black Community And The Difference With Other County’s Are That It’s There Country We The Black Ppl Dont Make Up A Significant Population In This Country We Still Dont Hold High Positions In Society And It’s Not Because We Dont Work For Them It’s Not Because Were Not Smart Enough It’s Not Because We Are Lazy It’s Because We Where Never Meant To Be Functional Members Of The American Society The Laws Were Not Made For Us The Constitution Was Not Made For Us There Was Not Intent On Us Ever Being Real Members Of Society We Were Set Free Under Th Where 13th Amendment To Work The Job’s That They Didn’t Want To Do For A Low Wage And In That Same Amendment It States That We Infact Are Still Subject To Slavery If We Are Incarcerated And With Laws That Can Be Proven To Be Structured For Blacks To Break We Can Uplift Our Ppl We Had A Puppet For President To Satisfy Our Eyes And Make The World Think We Are A Fair Nation If This Country Doesn’t Change It’s Going To Get Really Ugly For The Citizens Of It We Need New Amendments And Laws Because The Old Way Ain’t Working It Was Written By Evil Slave Owners Who Are Revered By This Country As Hero’s And Ppl To Look Up To When A Country Is Built In This Way You Have To Trow The Whole System Away It’s Never Going To Get Better We We Are Still Under The Laws And Legislation Of Slave Owners
@Eliza Grogan
....really, it's one thing that that kind of stuff is bouncing around in your head, but you actually wrote that in a place where your comments don't go away.
I'm not going to judge anyone here, but I would exhort us all to: 1. Question what we all (including me) think and 2. Take a breath and think about what we put out into the world in writing.
I'll just assume that this was something that was written after a really bad day and after years of miseducation.
3rd thing, let's all read up on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Some inspiration never hurt anyone. If everyone were to apply just one principal that he taught, the world would be a better place. ....One more thing let's all read up on some US history so that we are able put the events of the past and present into context, while shaping a more healthy future.
...just a few things to think on
(Something to look up if you so choose:
Philipians 4:8)
-Assalamu'alaykum 👍
@@dukeroe So you think that all white people were slave owners? You actually believe that all white people are from "racist"/prejudice views? This widely indoctrinated perception only makes you ignorant, when you voice it and merely think it. You probably don't know the fact that before 1865, only 15 of the 34 states were slave states, all of them together in the south. Nineteen states voted against slavery and won, 19 states. White people, voting FOR Black people! White people, standing up AGAINST slavery. THEY WERE NOT NOT SLAVE OWNERS NOR WERE THEY RACIST/PREJUDICE! THEY ARE THE FOREFATHERS OF MANY PEOPLE HERE TODAY! So a Black person saying any random white persons Forefathers were slave owners , racist or involved in any malicious actions towards Black folks is actually ludicrous and plainly displays ignorance. Respectfully, see if that alone sinks in and the ramifications that follow any future actions! o.0
Yes there are many racist/prejudice whites still on this planet, created by that ignorant southern perception and ideals. They will be dealt with by GOD, as will you and yours YET there are not any "Forces Working Strategically To Push The Black Community Into Bondage" This is your brainwashing and truthfully under GOD a deflection from the True Agenda In Play Right Now! Most important is that you seem to be Hypo-cognitive to the realities of other cultures/peoples COMPLETE and SEPARATE histories on this planet!
I dont get it! Who care if this Letter was real or not... WHAT would be the difference?
Thanx for all Dr. King!
Exactly, if he did make up the letter I'm glad he did. He was making a point.
Yes I don't understand either, this man went through all this for what? But it let's you know how far some people will go when they have nothing else to do, mean did he get tons of money for this.🤷
He integrated you into a burning system. Have you become Firemen?
It is simply to know the truth. No more than that.
@@atishastephensonpike6540 says the person freely using an integrated social media platform.
You can never put a good man down. It rings. And still rings... We need more Martin Luther Kings more today.
Boy am I so glad he hadn't sneezed!
Your videos are AMAZING . Eye 👁 openers for sure!!Thank you!!!
Dr King probably kept that letter. The young lady that wrote it probably did not want to be "exposed." She probably would have contacted Dr.Kings family by now. That letter could be in the King's family private stash.
Could very well be! Shows the procaution of Dr. Martin Luther King jr.💐☑️
Sincere regards in Christ Jesus,
A. DEE WAI.
Thank you Dr Martin Luther King
We need more people to stop being silent and get into activism. God created this world for all people.
Not really
Wait a minute what they still trying to steal some of the man's Glory
I don't think man is supposed 2 get any glory! We and he gotta give it 2 God
They doing they best smh
Exactly
Nah. They are scholars researching a reference in one of his speeches. Probably his last public speech. They find it remarkable this reference to a previous attempts on his life and the outpouring of support. To them, the source material is important and they want to read that too, but no one has found this one letter in all his documents. Without the letter, historians chalk up the story of a letter to a orator's flourish. He wouldn't be the first person to use one, based on similar real experience, to make a point or establish a mood. But, the letter was found and the family share their stories as well.
tl;dr Historian finds letter that was important in MLK's life and contact the letter writer's family. Lovely story and interesting piece of detective work.
@@andyoli75 you got all that out it wow 👏 you got a wild imagination 😳
Thank God you didn't sneeze....i was 20 yrs. old when this happened. It feels like it was yesterday much like JFK's death to me.
Iris Friesen here's a reality check though. They killed JFK and MLK because they were perceived as a danger to the establishment aka the people in power and the biggest threat, the people who profit off of death and destruction. MLK advocated for social policy and economic equality and that's when they killed him. JFK I heard he wanted to take us out of several for profit wars and that's why they killed him. It's sad what happened to them, and it's all because of people who want lots of money, only to keep in their pocket for no reason besides either greed or because they like to see people suffer.
@@electric6877 Darling I'm 75 years old. I don't need a "reality" check... I was there...literally.
Iris Friesen sorry about that I didn't mean it that way. I was only saying it like that because many people are being brainwashed by the media and I just want to make sure people know what really happened in history rather than just thinking someone killed them because they just "fought for civil rights" or "against the establishment".
@@electric6877 Thank you for the clarification and your efforts to educate others. I love your manners... mama taught you right! xxooxx
Fun fact a Council back in the late 60s early 70s ruled Dr. King and JFKs death a conspiracy.
How on Earth do you know another young girl didn’t also write a letter that you just never found ??? This is more likely, than “the letter didn’t exist ...”
Agreed
He should have mentioned the interview on MNBC May 1967, which Black Americans need to hear.
Thanx MLK for your short but extraordinarily accomplished life!
Your 'are' a blessing to humanity!
Well said♡
The legend, SIR MARTIN Luther king..wisdoms he SPREAD around, and voices.😔
Nah!!Hey!HEY,hooray! James I like it
@Ray Sagastiano let me guess you got that info from the U.S government.
Very interesting and informative story that the mystery was solved. Great video
We just love him.
Yes we do love him so much a true man a a king to humanity rest in power martin we miss you 😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺
Just because you couldn't find the letter doesn't mean it doesn't exist or was never wrote.
I've learned that the media version of anything put out by them is a lie
"or was never WRITTEN". Please, people: when u have written a comment, you should RE-READ what you have written to make sure there are no errors...

Jr
It’s only noted after the credits that it was the Atlanta University Center library where he finds the letter. Morehouse owns the collection but AUC manages it.
Fascinating ! Thank you so much for your research
Amazing just Amazing God bless you sister rest in power brother martin you are missed 😥 😔 😟 😥 😔 😭😭😭😭
Good job of finding the letter!
It is important that we judge people only by their character and SIT DOWN be humble
"And tell her she's a part of history that she never knew about. . ."
Let's take this same energy and start telling modern whites which of their ancestors abused blacks slaves and how their behavior benefited their future generations, for history.
Thank you, Mr. Cameron McWihirter, for your noble mission to find the nine year old writer of the letter to MLK .
Noble mission ?! Lol, these are the same group that murdered him
He did great in hiding the woman's identity through a child..👍
I love Martin Luther King Jr's speeches
Legend
Thanks For Sharing^^
Wow, definitely the most important thing to focus on in relation to Dr King...
Wowee; I want to write more letters now
The letter does exist because I saw it many years ago, but I don't think she was in high school. I think I remember that she was in elementary school. Even though guards confirmed that the letter existed back then.
Where and how did you come across the letter? How do you know what grade she was in?
@@margiecampbell714 I am a reader of everything I get my hands on, especially when it is about History! Moreover, I come from a family of Civil Rights activists who taught us about African and Black History in addition to attending African and Black History classes at our church since I was a kid. I have an excellent memory as well as a photographic memory.
MLK WAS A GREAT MAN
Wow, I see why he was choosen to do this, hatred is poison. It doesn't matter who hates you for doing what's needed. Only one matters is the one who knows truth. Period. God bless his family, heaven is his home now, nobody can touch him. But evil people will land in he'll for there evil ways if they don't stop and turn away from that hatred before they die. You can take that to the bank
@Ray Sagastiano Dr. King. was a monster to racist white people who feared him, and STILL fear him to this day. And your racists worship George Wahington and Thomas Jefferson, the demonic rapists? You are sick!
Ray Sagastiano @RaySagastiano you cannot justify your idiotic statement calling Dr. King a monster. You're just another racist monster. Dr. King was a kindhearted Saint who coud have pursued a career with financial gain because of his education & intellect. But instead he devoted his short lived life to helping Black ppl get their denied GOD given rights; he tried to humanize the evil hypocrisy of AmeriKKKa. Out of the 1000s of archieved papers this guy found, why did he ONLY focus on the white girl's letter?
@@hakeemsd70m preach!!
@Ray Sagastiano yeah...a monster to racism!
This was a non story
Luther King was a good person😢
Wow indeed Martin Luther King was indeed a man of the Almighty God. God bless his heart❤
We need a Martin Luther King in 2019.
His name is nnamdi KANU the leader of ipob
The message is to March for an end to inequality so let's do that!
Where these words from Dr. King’s final speech In Memphis or from an earlier one? I just remember him speaking about reaching “the promised land”.
THIS WASN'T MLK JR's FINAL SPEECH
😂😂😂😂😂there they go making thier own history again
Yes it was... He was killed the next day. "Mountaintop" speech 4/3/68. MLK, Jr. 1929-68
@MadMaxx yes!!!!
It shows that people try to quiet people like MLK and Malala but sometimes they fail
God bless #Hero Dr.Martin Luther King 🙏🙏
They Should’ve charged him a Billion dollars to see the paper
Wow, I am grateful to God he did not sneeze in 1958.
Wonder story and dedicated research effort!
An even more dedicated researcher would not have stopped after this find among the 'K's. I myself would have liked to know if there was a 9th grade white girl from White Plains High School who wrote a similar thing to him.
But this particular researcher may have stopped at that point based upon MLK's reputation for accuracy with facts.
Then obviously there was a second letter in which a small girl also wrote "im so happy that you didnt sneeze" 👍
One day this NATION WILL KNOW HOW GOD SENT THIS DRUM MAJOR FOR PEACE AND GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN ,HE WAS!!!!
No one talking about how tragic his speech was in the context of what happened next?
They always think the worst. Why not assume that letter was lost. Much as people replace relocate and misplaced one item or two. Just stop it
This is such a great example too!
Keep going 🍎
Imagine what this woman's children felt like...
I guess he did alot of brainstorming and reflecting too before " final " speeches👍😉
Stop doubting and just use your creativity kids!
We love you so much too🤗
#TeacherStudentMentor moments and how some use feedback.
How did it differ between today & past? (n communicating with leaders)
Do you think they actually read more
" themselves"?
I can't be any more of a hint ...lol in examples of support.
Enjoy your day creative teachers;)😁
Big love and memory to Dr Martin Luther King
Yes I believe. ☮️❤️
Amen!
Interesting awesome
My hero
I'm assuming that he didn't want to tell people who she was for safety reasons.
The struggles of yesterday are still the struggle of today! Those voices were relevant then and still are now. As the saying goes... For those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
You left a powerful legacy Dr King
I love history
So what if the letter wasn't found, the love was
Maybe she wrote and articulated for her child what the child wasnt able to put so plainly
I remember the day of his assassination as if it happened ten minutes ago. I lived in Atlanta at that time. It amazing that, some Europeans, for centuries, have strived to not only deprive us of our history and heritage, but have "successfully rewrote it and taught it." ; And not only have we believed it but have accepted it. The story is told about King sitting over Harry Belefonta's house and was looking down in a state of gloominess. Harry asked him three times, "Martin are you okay." He didn't respond on the first two, but on the third one he looked up and replied,"Harry, I think we are, [marching, running] into a burning [building, house] and we are going to have to [save, rescue] ourselves out of it." The civil rights movement was not so much about integration, but about civil rights and liberties guaranteed under the Constitution. It was about ... All men are created equally, and have certain inalienable rights that should not be infringed upon nor deprived of; they [were] endowed by their CREATOR. The Bill of Rights, the 9th, 14th, and the 15th Amendments. He spoke that to him a year before his assassination. Martin wondered that after all the protesting, sit-ins. demonstration, and marching, that a greater evil was hanging in the balance. That their would be those in power, when integration would become part of the norm, to a degree, that those who still opposed us will make it more destructive for us; that since they could not destroy us "from without, they would destroy us from within." And though some of us,as he said, 'have floated out of the muddy Waters of the back stream into the fresh flowing Waters of the mainstream, and have forgotten the stench of the back Waters." How so true. Look how we have turned out adversities against each other; the guns, the violence, the hatred, madness towards each other. Today, I can't even talk to or reason with my brother without the risk of being physically threatened, harmed, injured; not to mention being shot, stabbed and/ or killed.
You are REFUGEES in your OWN Land. But you'all insist in call yourselves BLACKS and bear Europeans Names!
th-cam.com/video/7N330vc6A3U/w-d-xo.html
MLK knew about the Truth from the beginning. after all, He went to /Mountain Top\ Mohammad Mountain!th-cam.com/video/3a9xJ9pJn3w/w-d-xo.html
The government has agreed to house and educate the European peasants
But refused to pay us and our forefathers that being the black sharecroppers
"We're going to March to the White House and ask the president to get our check"
Right after that he was assassinated
@@catsdogsbaby8318 With the exception of John Lewis, and a couple of others, the best ones who speak the truth and that seek to show the way, lives are curtailed by those who are in power and position to silence their adversaries and then put a blanket over it, if you know what I am saying. They may get away with it with man, but, not with the ALMIGHTY. HE sees, knows, and aware of it, even before they done it.
I wouldnt want to be trying to get into heaven and have st. Peter address, "oh by the way you stabbed mlk in the chest"
Never love your enemy
Love your enemies for it's Gods fight
What if God's your enemy?
And if the Old Testament is the true word of OUR History, it says , Esau whom I hated.
It says to hate your enemy, unlike the Kjv. Which is the perversion of the history so tht you will love those tht mean you no good in their deeds, though their tongue is as silk, to your ears.
The Old Testament is so hard to live by, it is not a bible, it is the way we had lived in the “WORD”!
@@garyrich2053 the Bible is just a book that is full of made up stories. It's not to be taken literally.
Howard Marks ,
So why do you take what I say so literally, when all of history thts has been misdirected, mistranslated , misappropriated, misused, abused by uninforming, and miseducating the masses. All to serve an agenda of a few, while mentally enslaving the minds of the majority. Now tht that’s off my chest... what put you in the mind set tht you would assume to have overreaching authority that you would cross lands, seas, highway & byways, via technology to dictate to me, my perception of what my truth should be.
“ who youuuu?”
The MAN always made it plain!
All you people do is hate on black people in general hateful !
Martin Luther king jr. You are my hero
It's amazing how many white folks felt so passionately about civil rights even a little girl 💝
Just because the private letter was not submitted to the public to be on display does not mean it does not exist.
wow
The fact that you didn't find the letter doesn't mean it didn't exist. King wouldn't lie.
Goood stuffff
#Covid_Season_2021
Use THAT SAME ENERGY & impeach TRUMP
@Ray Sagastiano why? he not illegal
Martin Luther king jr sound like my priest from my church
Sean Pinching well I mean, he was a man in the lord
Spilling Teaa true
No1 is my hero except the one who create creation. Look how your inner body function...that is the best mechanic
Even though the 2nd Klan movement, (1915-1944) and the 3rd Klan movement, (1946-present) both started off in Atlanta before they landed on other locales, area's and regions, there's absolutely nothing in MLK's writings and quotes in regards to his hometown of Atlanta being the foremost "Klan Cesspool" of 20th century America.You had " Sundown Towns" but if what the adjacent counties north of Atlanta, (Cherokee,Dawson,Forsyth,Pickens) had together was a white population of 154,000 and a black population of only 1,900 in 1990, you had the only "Sundown Region" within the South at the time.
I'm sure they didn't expect anyone to come looking for them because they wrote a letter to Martin Luther King.
It's possible there's a second letter
👍👍👍👍👍👍💜💛💚💜💛💚
I still wonder why not tell the truth about the origins of the letter. What else was at risk seeing that he still paid the ultimate price
Dr.King's inner circle was in on the hit on Dr.King,back in 1968.
lol get the heck outta here with that.
People didn't die for me for the right to vote,people were murdered for me for the right to vote.
@Kamar G No, it was the new fella, McClure or something
@Kamar G Nope, Jackson has done dishonorable things but it wasn't him.You do know that the King family sued the United States of America for murdering their father and Coretta's husband, and they WON ! The public has never been told about that, also King was murdered in the hospital. ......Reverend Jackson had nothing to do with the murder, the Kings knows who they weere.
@Kamar G Very good, I see people are awakening! And yes, there's ALWAYS a sellout, but, still we rise !
Why that particular letters, find those that matter
🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
Just because he didn't find it, doesn't mean it didn't exist. That's a very presumptuous statement. Every single piece of history hasn't been found, archaeologist are still finding artifacts from hundreds of years ago. The news reporter stated in the report that if he had of sneezed he would've died. I'm pretty sure he got a lot of letters that said, "good thing you didn't sneeze. Very presumptuous. smh
The question I often wondered for years as a detective working this case .
How did the shooter know that king would come out on that balcony and stand still ????
Who's idea was it to suggest that they go out and stand on that balcony and the shooter knew that this would happen.
Someone lured King out onto the balcony at a certain time and knew that the chance would be present to kill him .
Who suggested to king ... Lets go out on to the balcony ????
Someone in his group made a successful suggestion and they knew that the shooter would be waiting for the stand still shot .
Very good, so someone in the group was working with the FBI, ....so then you know the shot wasn't successful, so the head Dr in the emergency room murdered him ?! Tell us about that
NOTTHASAME , it doesn’t change the fact of the governments involvement, the law suit that implicated the governments complicity. The King family won in court, but where was the so called media(press)?? All are, and were complicit in the conspiracy even the so called local law.
As far as who baited the trap goes.... who wore shirt & ties at that event, and whom did not ?!
The target was marked, it could’ve been Abernathy, not King tht fell ! Funny how allll the kings men did well when humpity fell.
What a strange humor, thou the doctor could’ve put him back together again... but, he was put in place too, huh?!
The late Rev. Samuel Kyle admitted he was the one who led King to the balcony. And moved so that the shooter would have a clear shot.
The miracle is, what stopped the knife milli-meters from his artery.
Lets look at the FACTS:
* The Fire Station across from the Loraine Motel is where the (2) Man shooter team were located.
* The shot that hit Dr King was fired from a slightly opened window, in the Fire Station dormitory.
*The shooter team were backed into the shadows of the room , yet still had a clear view of the balcony where Dr King was shot.
* The Shot hit Dr King as he was about to go to supper and he was leaning over the balcony railing , speaking to people on the ground level..and leaning forward. The shot was intended to strike DR King in the head, but the hyper velocity ammunition did not hit the intended target, but was left of center. Dr King was struck in his right jaw line instead of the center of his head. The bullet cut his carotid artery and deflected down to his collar bone and stopped in his back.
* A huge tree limb completely blocked the view of the Loraine Motel balcony from the supposed shooters location in the bath room window.
*The very next day , someone CUT that tree down, making it appear as that was where the shot CAME from.
* The only BLACK Fire fighters in that Fire house were mysteriously RE assigned to another Fire station across town in Memphis. (Why , so they would be out of the way for the shooter team to set up)
I lived in Memphis and I was there the night Dr King was murdered. It was horrible then, MUCH worse than what we see today. I have investigated this case for 50 years and I agree with the King family, James Earl Ray was a "patsy' and did NOT shoot Dr King. The same people killed a Sitting National President on LIVE TV in Dallas Tx, so what chance did a Civil Rights worker in Memphis have? RIP Dr King :(
please... after killing him they went to check for the letter? He wasn't dumb to let it around. And who are you guys anyway?
I am the one who holds the hidden known
So , I don’t know what he was saying he would of died if he sneezed. ? What was he sick with?
GOD BLESS DR KING. GONE TOO SOON INDEED.
Ok. Here we go! HOW FUTILE! "EXCUSE ME"! (And that's not ment as a question to "please excuse me"!) These kind of things can make me quite edgy.
This great man and christian recieved SO many letters probably... Who knows if a girl wrote about the same thing as the older lady, both with the best intent! And then, so many years later (maybe the subject came up, and memory of a letter from a girl and the phrase;" if I would have sneezed")... and took presidence for no other reason then to serve and encourage those through a significant speach of excellence! He took a stand for rightiousness and in the way of a true follower of CHRIST! He was "the front man". He had to stay strong for others and keeping on encouraging to protest the right way, the christian way, no violence!
Walking up front, knowing he was a target all the time! Luckely he KNEW that in Christ, death could not hold him and he would see Jesus the Christ of Nazareth - Son of the living God of Israël!
(And with this I do not forget others for rightiousness sake, well-known or not. As heroes I think of them!)☑️💖‼️
And to then "find importance" in finding this letter...Who knows, maybe there was a letter of a girl from a certain background?... That that in itself could (in those days) have endangered her...?! And maybe that might even have played a part in not using it as part of an encouraging speach only years later...?
No! This to me seems nothing other then splitting hairs! Trying to diminish the outstanding role in history Dr. Martin Luther King jr. has played. That he wasn't one to revel away in aspects of issues hardly worth mentioning, let alone "stating it as a truth"...
Dr. Martin Luther King jr. was one to take part in THE MAKING OF HISTORY!! And now here's "belittling you"... Building your name in time, are you??... Through an article like this...
NO! What Dr. Martin Luther King jr. (and others)did, as a whole ( to this day even to be considered as topical) is what matters! Unbelievable and unbecoming a true citizen is what you here-in presenting yourself to be! SHAME ON YOU ! (and with that I mean nothing bad towards the lady who wrote (if she did and not a girl) or her descendants!)
Sincerly in Christ Jesus Our Lord ✝️🌹,

So he found the letter but didn’t post the actual whole letter
Thank God he didn't sneeze...
So after all y'all Did what is the result. Cause I'm not watching the whole video.
My theory is king was protecting the identity of the author intentionally
