Across the way

This picture is in keeping with my photo blog style, but is is really a follow-up to yesterday's post.

Shown is the building from which James Earl Ray made the fatal shot. 

The well known picture that is forever seared in my memory is of the scene 180 degrees from the above viewpoint... that of the balcony showing Andrew Young, Jesse Jackson and others pointing across the way toward the location of the perpetrator.

  1. John, a typo I guess, but Lee Havey Oswald shot JFK, not MLK.

    1. Not a typo... a senior moment. Thanks for pointing out my error. It is now fixed.

  2. That 1968 photo of the men pointing where the shot came from is iconic. The event was just one of the tragedies of that era.
