In the wake of the violence, a curfew was imposed and more than 3,800 National Guardsmen were rushed to the city. A week later, King was assassinated at Memphis’ Lorraine Motel.

Hi jennamarbles, I apologise for commenting in a way that does not relate to your post. In case you were unaware because you missed my post I've sent you some SD for your charity efforts. No need to respond, i just didn't want you to be confused or concerned about where the SD came from. Best of luck.

Gotta love seeing nicely preserved old photographs. It really gives a first hand look at how people lived in the time. The quality is amazing, it feels as if you can even smell what they're smelling.

Elizabeth training as a mechanic - pure gold!

Loving this Stop the Moment series, this is great stuff, keep posting.
