Summary
A great and good man was assassinated. Dr Martin Luther King had a dream. It was a dream of peaceful integration and equality for American negroes. But he never lived to see that dream realised. Instead his brutal death sparked off rioting and hate between many black and white extremists. We pay tribute to a man of peace who died with untimely violence.
