Synopsis

50 Years Later: Why the Murder of Dr. King Still Hurts assesses what would have changed if King had lived? What was the consequence of the changes that occurred in the aftermath of his murder? How did those changes impact and influence the peace movement, the opposition to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the immigration, gay rights and women’s movements, and Black Lives Matter? What effect would his presence on the scene have had on the fight for black political empowerment, criminal justice system reform, the problems of crime, drugs and violence in the nation’s inner cities and the ugly racial backlash of the GOP and Trump? What relationship would he have had, and conflicts with, Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama? The impact of the never-ending smear campaign against King for alleged illicit sexual improprieties. 50 Years Later: Why the Murder of Dr. King Still Hurts will take a fresh look at King’s murder and address why many still believe that his murder was not the work of a racist, lone nut, James Earl Ray, but that it was orchestrated by the FBI and other murky federal government agencies. It’s noteworthy that fifty years after his murder the FBI still has not formally apologized for its two decade long dirty war against King.
