When he was murdered by an assassin’s bullet, MLK was going through a hard time in his life and many close to him say that he knew the end was near. But even he couldn’t have predicted the impact his death would have – good and ill – on the United States.
Dive into the story behind one of the most pivotal and heartbreaking moments in American history—the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. This first installment sets the stage by exploring King's complicated public standing in the years leading up to his death, from clashes with Malcolm X's philosophy to his controversial anti-Vietnam War stance, before walking through the tense final days in Memphis and the events of that fateful evening at the Lorraine Motel. Josh and Chuck unpack lesser-known details, personal stories, and the ripple effects felt across the nation, setting up plenty more to explore in part two.
