My grandfather, Mr. Braden, was 24 years old when Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968. He lived in Frayser, TN. When he heard the news that the King was assassinated he was at work. He worked at Roadway Express, that's a trucking business were they would deliver goods through out the city of Memphis. He saw on the news that he was shot. When he figured it out that he was shot he wanted to go straight home. Later that night they started burning building and the national guard came in. He thought that the city was going to completely burn. Everybody was in their houses because that night everyone had a curfew. The next night it got even worse and they started burning more buildings. That was the story of the night my grandfather, Mr. Braden, remembered what happened.
