The day MLK was shot I was a young Marine stationed in Millington, Tennessee, getting ready for deployment to Vietnam. We were immediately assembled for riot control and boarded trucks for Memphis. I was surprised that conditions were not more severe. We didn't view MLK, and whatever it was that he stood for, as anything significant. To this day, I'm still not sure as to how significant MLK's role was or how he fit into things. I think other blacks played a much bigger role in that movement than did MLK; they just didn't get the recognition.
