My name is Larry C. Sr. and during 1968 I was twenty nine years old. I was a young married with one child and living Memphis, TN. Memphis stood out to me, because it was a clean city with a low crime rate at the time. I was attempting to get into the insurance business at this time in my life. When Dr. King was assassinated I was collecting debts on insurance premiums. After I had done this and returned to my office in South Cooper, I learned that Dr. King had been assassinated. The city immediately issued a curfew by nightfall for all citizens. The city of Memphis was in shock about this event and later chaos broke loose. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. King, realizing now but not at the time that his peaceful protest were the right way to protest.
