King, Martin Luther, Jr. - Investigation

Morgue files related to Martin Luther King, Jr. are arranged in six categories: coverage of events of his lifetime; coverage of his assassination, funeral and memorial services, and riots in April 1968 in the aftermath of his death; coverage of the Federal investigation of his death that concluded in 1975; and coverage of tributes to King, including commemorative sites, holidays, events, and activities in remembrance of King in the years after 1968. Coverage of events of King's lifetime are arranged at the beginning of the group. Full newspapers and newspaper pages from April 1968 are arranged in the same categories based on their headlines; note that these newspapers contain coverage of multiple overlapping events taking place at that time.
