- Summary:
- In April, 1968, Rev. Martin Luther King was at the height of his public popularity. But J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI, had an obsessional hatred of King and was determined to silence him. On April 4th, King was assassinated with one perfect shot. Clearly James Earl Ray fired that shot but was he just the fall-guy? Despite disturbing evidence, the case has never been reopened.
