The Lorraine Motel - Martin Luther King, Jr. Assassination (Part 1)

On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. But was it the act of a lone gunman, or is there more to the story? From his early days in Atlanta to his rise as a national leader, we follow his journey of nonviolent resistance against systemic racism and injustice. We then dive into the chaotic final hours at the Lorraine Motel, the ensuing manhunt for James Earl Ray, and the lingering questions that still haunt King's assassination.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crimecast--4106013/support. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!
