We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Media Black-Out of King Assassination Anniversary War Promotion Media's Future Prosecution

Click here to access article by Jay Janson from OpEd News. 

With time running out, I was only able to scan this; however it appears to offer a lot of information regarding his assassination on April 4, 1968 by agents working for the government in order to shut him up. An excellent book on this subject is An Act of State by William Pepper. 

Remember: the ruling class always writes our history to reflect their interests. We must constantly be on guard to salvage our history for future generations.
