46 years ago today Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in
Memphis, Tennessee while speaking at a protest by the Memphis
Sanitation Union. It was his vision to unite the labor and civil rights
movements and work towards eradicating poverty in America.
The speech worked. The Memphis Sanitation Union received a ten
cent raise.
Hopefully these newspaper headlines shine a light on his legacy.

I’m sure today there will be hundreds of
superficial articles published today about
King’s legacy. Very few will address the
context of his life.
I’ve gone ahead and curated five articles
that do just that.
