This Sunday is 42nd Anniversary of King's Assassination-Killed in Midst of Poor People's Campaign
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was Slain 42 Years Ago This Sunday While In the Midst of a Poor People’s Campaign

In addition to being Easter this coming Sunday, 4/4/10, it’s also
the 42nd anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King.
In his memory, take the “King Challenge” – Can you take to
heart the words he spoke just 4 days before he was gunned
down?

read it online here and see:
www.WhatNewsShouldBe.org (middle of page, right after Dr. King’s photo)

or
Download the free 2-sided “King Challenge” flyer here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?oyojmbozwz5

or email me for a copy here Angie@WhatNewsShouldBe.org

This flyer has excerpts of a sermon Dr. King gave just 4 days
before his death and it discusses global and u.s. poverty then, and flyer
also has information about it now 42 years later - when we still
need a poor people's campaign!! Dr. King was speaking about the
most pressing problems facing humanity. Nobody talks about this today.
This is the stuff that SHOULD be on the front page of our newspapers,
but isn't. Please take this opportunity to remember what's important -
and to remind others also. Thanks for your time.

1. Thanks
I'll be including excerpts of that sermon in a bulletin insert in the congregations I serve this Easter Sunday!

Still the truth advances onward.

3. King had become very anti-war by then and had begun to threaten TPTB
There are times I really wonder...

4. Oh, those darn lone nuts. A shame the King Family hasn't gotten the memo

"For a quarter of a century, Bill Pepper conducted an independent investigation of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. He opened his files to our family, encouraged us to speak with the witnesses, and represented our family in the civil trial against the conspirators. The jury affirmed his findings, providing our family with a long-sought sense of closure and peace, which had been denied by official disinformation and cover-ups. Now the findings of his exhaustive investigation and additional revelations from the trial are presented in the pages of this important book. We recommend it highly to everyone who seeks the truth about Dr. King's assassination." -- Coretta Scott King
