Forty Years Ago

Hard to believe that it was 40 years ago today that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

I was 17 and a senior in high school.We lived in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC area.I remember vividly the news stories of the rioting and fires within the city limits of DC.A curfew was in effect and people were not allowed to travel into the city.I'll never forget how The National Guard was called in to keep people from going into the city.

Don't remember too much about it since we lived in the Maryland suburbs outside of the city limits.I do remember later on seeing all of the buildings that were burned down across the city.The devastation was so sad to see.
