It was 41 years ago tomorrow that Martin Luther King Jr., was assassinated. Today, Life magazine is providing images of the assassination scene that have never been published.

Keep trying, the server is often not able to keep up with the demand.

Maybe I'm trying too hard to see correlations between this story and the other big story (from Iowa), but U2 comes to mind:

From "Pride (In the Name of Love)"

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love...
