Martin Luther King Jr. stands with other civil rights leaders (from left, Hosea Williams, Jesse Jackson, King and Ralph Abernathy) on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 3, 1968. King was in Memphis to lead a peaceful march in support of garbage workers. His aides have said, looking back, that death was on his mind. At the end of his speech in Memphis, he said, “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.” King, while standing on the same motel balcony, was shot to death April 4, 1968. (© AP Images)
