The life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In April 1968, King traveled to Memphis, Tenn. to help support striking sanitation workers. On April 3, he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel with (from left to right) Hosea Williams, Jesse Jackson and Ralph Abernathy. That same day he gave his famous 'I've Been to the Mountaintop' speech. File photo / AJC
