Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Part 2
Episode 5.2: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Part 2
In the second installment of our four-part look at the life and death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we recount his last day in Memphis, Tennessee. Then we hear how James Earl Ray was tracked down before being sentenced to 99 years in prison for the murder of the civil rights leader. However, the case was far from closed, with many people - including the King family - convinced that the truth of what happened still had to come out.
