April 3, 1968

Dr. Martin Luther King gives his final speech.

At the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee a crowd of sanitation workers heard Dr. King’s “I’ve Been To The Mountaintop” speech and his prophetic words.

“I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”

The next day he was assassinated.
