Heard on the Radio: Recalling the Life & Death of Martin Luther King 40 Years Later

On April 4, 1968 Martin Luther King was killed at the Lorriane Motel in Memphis. The site, preserved as it was then on the exterior has been transformed inside. It is now the National Civil Rights Museum.

We hope you can catch this "Hidden America" segment in which Mark Walsh & David Goodfriend of Left Jab speak with Rev. Jesse Jackson. He was Dr. King's side at the time of the killing. He returned to the Motel turned Museum on April 4, 2008, from where he spoke to Mark & David. It was a powerful interview on a powerful day.

If you miss the interview during the broadcast of Left Jab (on XM Satellite Radio, Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. (Both times Eastern) on Channel 167), you can catch it as a podcast at http://leftjabradio.com (Go to archives).
