Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Was assassinated on this date in 1968, 56 years ago. I was a young girl living in suburban Washington, DC & remember my mother driving in the city in the wake of the riots there. I saw National Reserve soldiers in the streets. It was frightening, and because I was aware of the Vietnam War, I remember asking her, “Is the war here now, Mommy?” When she answered “No”, trying to reassure me, what she was probably really thinking was, “Yes, but a different kind of war.”
