At the age of five, Martin Luther King, Jr. started school, before the age of six, at the Yonge Street Elementary School in Atlanta. Whenthe teachers found out his real age, he coudn’t continue in school and did not resume his education until he was six. After Yonge School, he was enrolled in David T. Howard Elementary School. He also attended the Atlanta University Laboratory School and Booker T. Washington High School. Because of his high scores on the college entrance examinations in his junior year of high school, he advanced to Morehouse College without formal graduation from Booker T. Wash

Dr martin Luther king was an inspiration to not just blacks but people everywhere. He was a man full of accomplishments. His principals on how people should be treated represented the principals of every fair man in this country. His people were the heart beat but he was the voice.

Dr. King was shot while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. Dr. King was in Memphis to help lead sanitation workers in a protest against low wages and intolerable working conditions. James Earl Ray was arrested in London, England on June 8, 1968, and returned to Memphis, Tennessee on July 19, 1969 to stand trial for the assassination of Dr. King. On March 9, 1969, before coming to trial, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to ninety-nine years in the Tennessee State Penitentiary. Dr. King’s funeral services were held on April 9, 1968 at Ebenezer Baptist Church and on the campus of Morehouse College, with the President of the United State proclaiming a day of mourning and flags being flown at half-staff. The area where Dr. King is entombed is located on Freedom Plaza and is surrounded by the Freedom Hall Complex of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic Site. The site is a 23-acre area that was listed as a National Historic Landmark on May 5, 1977 and was made a National Historic Site on October 10, 1980.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson says it’s a plot: “I have always believed that the government was part of a conspiracy, either directly or indirectly, to assassinate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young believes the government was responsible for King’s death, as well. “I’ve always thought the FBI might be involved in some way,” he said. “You have to remember this was a time when the politics of assassination was acceptable in this country. It was during the period just before Allende’s murder. I think it’s naïve to assume these institutions were not capable of doing the same thing at home or to say each of these deaths (King and the two Kennedys) was an isolated incident by ‘a single assassin.’ It was government policy.”

Many believe, and so do I that the government had everything to do with it. I mean damn! Think about it! A petty criminal looking to make a name for himself stalks a well-protected black civil rights leader and finally killshim, then manages to make an almost-clean getaway, but not before dropping the murder weapon (with prints) and his p
