Article I found from 1999 regarding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I just wanted to share this with you all. MEMPHIS, Dec. 8— A jury in a civil suit brought by the family of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. decided today that a retired Memphis cafe owner was part of a conspiracy in the 1968 killing of Dr. King. The jurys decision means it did not believe that James Earl Ray, who was convicted of the crime, fired the shot that killed Dr. King. After four weeks of testimony and one hour of deliberation, the jury in the wrongful-death case found that Loyd Jowers as well as others, including governmental agencies had been part of a conspiracy. The jury awarded the King family the damages they had sought: $100, which the family says it will donate to charity. The family has long questioned Mr. Rays conviction and hoped the suit would change the legal and historical record of the assassination. #MLK #HappyBirthdayMLK #IHaveADream Link to article: nytimes/1999/12/09/us/memphis-jury-sees-conspiracy-in-martin-luther-king-s-killing.html
