From the New York Public Library:
Martin Luther King was in Memphis to support striking sanitation workers when he was assassinated. The placard was mass produced for the March posthumously. At the bottom it says: Allied printing Trades Council, 8 April 1968.Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929.

Seeing that MLK was born five years after Jimmy Carter (b. 1924) brings home to me that Rev. Dr. King could still be alive today...
All those years of his work, lost.

He was only thirty-nine when he was assassinated. Imagine what he would think if he were to see the shape of things now.
