The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated April 4th 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. He received the Nobel Peace Prize for his life long work in the cause of ending racial segregation and discrimination. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously. He advanced his causes through non-violence and civil disobedience. Something we can dwell on in light of current events in Florida and Afghanistan.
