My interview went well speaking to my close family friend. He was born in 1955 and he is 59 years old at this current time. His name is James A., James was only 13 old around the time of Kings death. James was only 5 or 7 blocks away from where the tragedy happened.
The way he seen King when he was younger is that he was a political figure to change circumstances between races. Since he was very young at the time he went through the normality in his everyday life because of the innocence of a young child's eye. James would say that he had a great passion for what he did now the leaders can do something he can but not as much, and other people had it but the same. In his own words for comparison "King wanted to raise everyone up like when ocean tide raises and it all boat masses up along with it.
