There is still much debate as to who actually was behind the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! So many conspiracy theories abound surrounding his death.Here's just a few from Teacher Vision:

"Since Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination three decades ago, his murder has become endless fodder for conspiracy theorists. Complete with shadowy film noir atmospherics and sensational charges leveled at the highest circles of power, the King conspiracy theories rival the most crazed accounts of Kennedy's assassination.
These theories gained renewed momentum when King's son Dexter met with his father's convicted assassin in prison in 1997. With the blessings of King's widow and the other King children, Dexter King shook James Earl Ray's hand and professed belief in his innocence. A second boost to the legitimacy of the King conspiracy theories came the following year when Attorney General Janet Reno reopened a limited investigation into the assassination in August 1998. And finally, in Dec. 1999, a Memphis jury awarded the King family $100 in a wrongful death suit. The jury professed that the murder was indeed a conspiracy involving bar owner Lloyd Jowers (see conspiracy theory #4 below) and several "unknown" co-conspirators. Few journalists, scholars, or law enforcement officials familiar with the case have given credence to the new court findings."(End of Excerpt) Read the rest here:http://www.teachervision.fen.com/martin-luther-king-jr/resource/4199.html

And Kennedy sought to heal the racial wounds that were certain to follow by referring to the death of his own brothe
