He would very disappointed, at today's youth , and some adults 😢
Funny that we have to fix the problems cause by the older generation because they were not smart enough to look to the future and only focused on themselves which they still do today but instead blame the younger generation for today's issues which they created themselves
That's an understatement.
And he will be so disappointed that white America is still racist. White America will always be racist. It's a white sickness.
He would be disappointed in this world period!

Legacy of Dr. King never dies. Long live Mr. King!!!! Huge respect!!
Amen ❤
The c.ia & FBI and local police Memphis TN set ray up. R.i.p martin Luther King the great
If his legacy was still alive a whole lot of blacks wouldn't act the way they do.
@@Powerule23your people are worse than black ppl. Just watch this documentary and you can see it if you pay fucking attention
The Assassin was the United States government, so if you are not informing the public about the trial in 1999 where this country was found guilty of his murder.
In a sense, anyone with good sense of this American Gov’t understands exactly what the facts are being laid out. That date is one of the better kept “eyes wide shut” “in plain, painful site, secrets. #12091999 etched in the heart of those of us whom are aware. I never understood how Rev. Kyle could, with a str8 face, address the news media. He, the photographer, the Jesse to the driver, which from time to time was also Kyle, all whom participated in this fatal day.
It burns my ears when Kyle says: “ We had no way of knowing that day would be his last, giving that speech. You, absolutely knew‼️The thanking of God is that they weren’t able to get Andrew Young, too because initially they had planned to take down, Young along with King.
Same deep state that is going after Trump today.
@@AprilCampbellYou Are So Damn Exactly Right 👍🏽
Lol all you conspiracy theorists are just an uneducated foolish gullible bunch...😂
‼️‼️‼️ or how his mother was murdered
JFK and MLK were changing the course of civil rights. Big Brother couldn't have that happening.
It is time the power is returned to the people. But who among you will stand up?
@@monsterpig3270, NONE! Nobody in this day and time are willing to stand like Martin Luther King Jr., and the many brave Pastors back then! And these were not just black Pastors, just to make that perfectly clear.
@@donaldwilson8163Then groups must stand together. Failure is not an option.
@@mgbl2808 What groups??/ Like MAGA?? If there was a civil war they would use poo poo as their ammo.

I’m glade you said that if you being honest.
Just leaving this here.. My heart goes to the entire community for AWT66K building up something which is worth it for everyone. This is so smart by them to launch and shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk, which was misplaced by all the drama we had last years. Time for changes

“Freedom is never given voluntarily by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
We always have freedom of speech even if freedom is never given voluntarily or demanded by someone. Just saying!!!
What if it was just some racist
@@YXTheArtist that said racist would have been a hero and wouldn't ever have been caught if it was that simple. He would have a shack on the AT out of the public eye 😂 all expenses paid
AT 7 YEARS OLD I CAN REMEMBER MOM AND DAD ON THE COUCH CRYING ONLY TO FIND OUT DR. KING WAS KILLED DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHO HE WAS UNTIL AGE 10
I was Four (4) years Old when this happen and I still remember the day that it happen! I remember when our Mother sat us down in front of the T.V. and made us watch the News of when he was Assassinated that day, and I clearly remember turning to my Mother crying asking her: Why does anybody want to kill a Doctor? Not knowing who Dr. King was at that age, I was just crying because they killed a Doctor and I thought that Doctors were supposed to save people's life.
Anyone who would kill someone like Martin Luther king is truly an immoral person.

King was invited into a a hotel room where the FBI said he and Kearse “discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts”.
The FBI document adds: “When one of the women protested that she did not approve, the Baptist minister immediately and forcibly raped her” as King watched.
RIP Martin Luther King 😢
Why doesn’t this have a million views ? Mind blowing!
Times are changin and people don't care no more bout none of this no more youth could careless theh more worried bout social media and rappers than people who actually did something
@@cubandade8469 man, you can't even formulate a proper sentence and you have the nerve to make disparaging comments about the youth? lmao
Many who witnessed this horrific tragedy are either from the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation or Baby Boomers, & if not already deceased would least likely be considered as modern-day social media buffs.
Cuz we rather watch someone eating a giant crab leg real loud smh 🤦

I was 13 when this tragedy happened and can vividly remember that horrible day....RIP Dr. King
Is that wreath on the balcony for TV or permanent ?
Oh wow 13. What was life like back then?
@@mcfcguvnors it's a permanent wreath🙏🏾
Was 12..broke my heart when he was killed. Since that day, trusting this world was impossible for me.
Wow. How old are you now
I remember this dark time. I was growing up in LA, CA. Our teachers were in shock and that was scary.
He was literally killed for preaching love. That is how you know this world of ours is a messed up place.
Why haven't CNN and fox taken time out to talk about dexter Scott King death, and give condolences to the king family and the world 💔
I noticed that too. Abc evening news too.
Wow. And CNN is based in Atlanta, Dexter's hometown.
They did
isn’t this talking about it !? Do you need a couple more months?!
@@niki2104- 😂😂😂😂😂
This man would be so heartbroken to see the world he left behind today. We have lost sight of his core message of not judging people by their skin color, its all people see these days
No, my brother... Martin knew the end time...He knew the seat of all governments is led by the power of the Serpent Satan...satan has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of God
I was 11 years old, living inDenmark. My parents were in shock and I never forget that day.
It was on the news, on tv, on radio and in the news papers.
It was a dark day. That is what I still remember .....
sorry, this mattered 30 years ago, now is Just HISTORY.

Dark day for some
The Federal Government took him out, Ray was just a tool used for the Game: Cowards: They will face HELL for real!
Exactly
Ray's fingerprints were found on the rifle!
martins family sued the US government for orchestrating the murder and won in a civil suit which the wife only asked for $1 also Kings wife meet many times with ray and stated she believed him to be an innocent man. we are talking about the 60s when the US Goverment was known for being very crooked hense the murder of jfk @@mattcampbell7669
Got any evidence?
@@randyharris3175Judge Joe Brown(yes the tv judge)does… He was also the Judge during the retrial. He was close to exonerating James, he states the trajectory of MLKs wounds showed the shot came from the ground. This is old news… Where have you been?
❤Dr Martin Luther King was a real world Man’s king 👑 🙏✍🏿❤️. He was a real man that was real to his people.❤️
The murder of MLK was a damn tragedy MLK was an American 🇺🇸 hero he did not deserve to die MLK will go down in history as the most important man in American 🇺🇸 history.
As a 25 year old white man all I gotta say is racism has no place here in the United States and that we all must work towards trying to better ourselves as well as trying to better understand each other.
❤❤🙏
How touching. Sadly your country is supporting genocide abroad.
@@antihypocrisy8978hate to break it to you but other countries are also committing genocide as well not just the United States.
You’ve got Russia killing innocent Ukrainians, you’ve got China killing and oppressing the Uyghurs, you’ve got what’s going on in Gaza I can go on and on all day the point is genocide is not exclusive to the United States 🇺🇸.

I Was Going On 6 Years Old But I Remember Very Well When Dr. King Was Assassinated My Mother (RIP 🌹) Had Covered Her Face And Was Crying Very Hard, I Asked Her Momma What's Wrong And She Said They've Killed Dr. King. I Didn't Understand All Of It Nor What Was Going On At That Time, At The Age Of 5 But I Will Never Forget My Mother's Tears Running Down Her Face. The Dream Will Never Die. The Bullet Didn't Kill You, It Was Hatred. RIP🌹 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. And Mrs. Corretta Scott King, (Wife)Yolanda King,(Daughter )Mr Martin Luther King Sr, (Dr. King's Father)Mrs. Mother King Whom Was Assassinated As She Played The Piano At Her Husband's Church,(Dr. King's Mother)Mr AD King, (Dr. King's Brother) Which Strangely Drowned As He Swimed, And Now Mr. Dexter Scott King(Son) May Y'all RIP

I was Four (4) years old when Dr. King was assassinated and I still remember when it happened like it was yesterday! The day that it happened! I remember when our Mother made us sit down in front of the T.V. and watch the News of when he was assassinated that day! I also clearly remember turning to my Mother crying as we watched the News, asking her: Why does anybody want to kill a Doctor? Not knowing who Dr. King was at that age, I was just crying because they killed a Doctor and I thought that Doctors were supposed to save people's lives, that's what I was crying for.
That's what those devils do when you don't agree with them but little do they know the Lord is going to return it upon their heads
I went to the Loraine Motel in Memphis Tennessee....To see Martin Lurher Kings History Gone But Not Forgotten ....
That’s DOCTOR Martin Luther King JR. 😔😔
Do t vote Democrat then.
A Democrat ended MLK.
@@ROMANsWife_Lovelii that's Reverend Doctor actually
I have been there also
@@MyHandelsMessiah God Bless all that MLK was.
THIS WAS A GOOD DOCUMENTARY, THANKS.
Having a nonviolent March is very, very powerful. I didn’t know much about Martin Luther King, but when I dug 😊 into it my heart aches for him and his family.
People are so cold !!!! 🥶 😢 Why do we hate one another as people ????????????????
Who took that photo of policemen/firemen scrambling from the fire station seconds after the shot rang? Seconds after, but didn't see anyone else?
I don't think he breaks out of jail they obviously released him for the job no matter what we did devil is devil
JFK, MLK, and RFK all of their deaths are related. For some, change means fear
Now you want to tell me the FBI has changed lol.
Right
Still the same
Love these documentaries
Rip black King 👑💖 never forgotten 💯
Brilliant documentary....RIP Dr. Martin Luther King jr.....Long live the memories of Luther King Jr, Ghandi & Nelson Mandela......♥️♥️♥️♥️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
They say James Earl Ray escape from prison yeah right
My eyes have seen the Glory of God.What powerful words.
Good doc., but one thing was mentioned in a book about this case that wasn't referenced here: Ray told someone that the reason he left the bundle ( with the rifle ) was because he saw a police car up the street, just as he was fleeing the scene.He could only see the back half of the cruiser; he quickly decided to drop the bundle, not sure whether there was a cop in the car or not.Judging from this doc, there were plenty of policemen on the scene,who might have spotted a man carrying a rifle- sized bundle.
"When it's real, nobody's gonna tell you"
well he was threating and then killed
The saddest day of my childhood. I saw him in DC at 3 in '63. He was the greatest hero to me, honestly. His words resonated always with me, I was against war and only for love. I was 8, love over hate especially within the public school gates.❤
Lol now we know you full of it... as who remembers anything from when they were 3...😅
how old are you?
Barzzzz! Towards the end you were rhyming did you realize that?
@@WoodysOpinion101Some people do
Curious about why Ray's prints wasn't found on the shell casing
The song, "Pride in the Name of Love" by U2 was about the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. (1984)
It’s so odd to me that ppl say RIP to MLK and celebrate his legacy yet never pay attention to or acknowledge the forces that killed him. Those same forces are still well and active today.
So true
I was 4 when he died. People fail to realize that's not long ago. The negative mindset is alive and well. Think about it. Why are we so against WOKE?
If you see my comment, I was four (4) years old at the time as well, do you remember anything?
U can't tell me 1 day later after you guys posting this, His son died today.😢
Maybe he watched this and was too painful. I wonder if he died of a broken heart. R.i.p #Dexterlutherking 🗽🕊⚔️🇺🇸
Prostate cancer 😢
Absolutely ridiculous! This is a re-run, and he certainly knows the story of his dad's demise. He had prostate cancer. Nothing more
@@dp7047The OP is probably a kid…
It's now been 56 years. It was April 4, 1968. The assassin was James Earl Ray.
The King family won a civil lawsuit not to long ago for wrongful death… Don’t listen to no documentary unless they’re talking about who really killed him..
It happened in 1999 and there was only one camera to record this historic event. And Ray didn't shoot the honorable Dr King,he was a scape goat.
I might not know you in person but when I get to state I will definitely come see you tomb. Rest on king.
Amen 🙏 Bless Him and May He Rest In Peace 🙏😇😇🙏🫶🏾👏🙌❤️🩹😢😢😢😢
Well put together piece, RIP Dr. King! 🙏🏾
Rip Mr. King
RIP MARTIN LUTHER KING . BRAVE MAN LEGEND !!
The more i watch the more it all looks like a well enacted play just to kill this one beautiful soul. I believe Mr. Ray"s confession of not shooting Dr. King.
The Bloody Sunday march was depicted in the song, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" by U2. (1983)
We're the hell was Jesse Jackson?
He was there when it happened.
Banging the white chicks.
on the balcony w Martin
it's funny how they viewed the public as a mindless nation, just because a man has a criminal record , they got someone to do the dirty work and then blame a man for something he might not have a clue about, if he's known as a bank robber, then that is what he is to be jailed for if proven guilty.
They allowed this man use the n word and didn’t cut it out but let someone use disrespectful words about the Jews would’ve bleeped it
James told Dexter he didn't kill king
Rest in paradise Dr. King. Rest in paradise Dexter King, Coretta Scott King, and Yolanda King.❤❤❤❤❤

I was only 3-1/2yrs old when MLK passed violently 😪. I always thought he was a relative seeing photos of him at 🏘️, all my relatives 🏡, when I seen him on ⛪️ fans 😮 I finally asked my parents who was he. I always felt a connection to him for some reason and at 10yrs old I read about him and never stopped 50yrs later…RIH MLK 💫💐🕊️💫🫶🏾
