I can think of a whole bunch of images that should rightfully be in your collection. The problem is that I either can't find a copy of the image that I am thinking of, or I do not know the exact location it was taken so it can be placemarked. For now I will add those that I do know, and I need to do some further research on those I dont.

I also think it is only fair that you give credit to the photographer/agency that owns that image. (I can help you with this if you want - PM me)

The Assassination Martin Luther King, Jr.


Joseph Louw (Life Magazine/PPCM)

This image was taken by South African documentary photographer Joseph Louw moments after the assassination of civil right's leader Martin Luther King, Jr. King was shot once through the head whilst walking along the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis. Louw, who was making a documentary about King instinctively decided to record for history the moments after Kings death. His photographs showed the positions of the people around the hotel and on the balcony, the fingers are all pointing at the direction of the shot.

Intreagingly, Nobody seams to know the identity of the man who is kneeling over Kings body or how he came to be on the balcony. It has been speculated that he was a US Secret Service agent. That is why some people still believe that James Earl Ray was not the brains behind the shooting and that there was a much bigger conspiracy.
