Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, TN 55 years ago today at 6:01 pm. On the night before, while in Memphis to advocate for fair wages for sanitation workers, he delivered his last message, a 41-minute set of unscripted remarks, at Mason Temple Church of God in Christ. The final words of his message and his last 12 public words on earth were, “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord”. Dr. King’s singular vision was for the realization of the Beloved Community and equality for all people.
