From the Back Cover
The Assassination of Martin Luther King - 1968. On the 3rd of April, 39-year-old Dr. Marin Luther King, Jr. arrived in Memphis, Tennessee to lend his support to a local strike. In less that 24 hours, he would be pronounced dead, the victim of an assassin's bullet. The gunman was later tracked down and identified as James Earl Ray. The incredible life of the legendary Marin Luther King and the fascinating detail of his untimely death are the focus of this intense and moving tribute to the power of he legacy he left behind. Narrated by Robert Powell.
The Ku Klux Klan Killings - Founded originally in the aftermath of the American Civil War as a defender of white southerners against the revenge of freed black slaves, this secret society, notorious for its savage methods and white hooded costume, became openly racist against Jews and other minorities, as well as blacks, in the 1920's and 1960's. The attempts of the U.S. Government to control it, and the controversy surrounding the violent methods employed by its members, is as compelling as it is disturbing. Narrated by Robert Powell.
