If you listen closely you can still hear him Walking out to go to dinner Surrounded by friends and compatriots No one thought that night would be any different
Until the report of a rifle shattered the night
History changed the night of April 4, 1968 The man thought of by some as a saviour Gunned down by an assassin's bullets Showed he was indeed
Human
A sleepy little hotel had become nightmare central He had been killed there The movement halted there A dream was silenced
There
Today it sits as it once was With a wreath to remind us where he fell A reminder that a sad time in history happened there Death immortalized forever

Very well put together, I was lucky enough to visit the National Civil Rights Museum in January and was truly humbled by my visit. It is a gem and to be able to visit the location of Martin Luther Kings assination will remain with me forever . Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words
That is really creative
