One way to narrow down the list of "who done it" is to establish with some degree of certainty the "why" of the crime. Who would gain by it? Just because some southern elites at the time of the deed might resent the bad press does not automatically exclude them from the long list of suspects, I think. After all, for almost a century most of them had tolerated the terrorist acts so often directed against southern Negroes by the Klan. Other possible clues to resolving the who done it of the particular crime in question are the circumstance of MLK's visit to Memphis. Why was he there? He was there to speak in the churches attended by striking sanitation workers. A criminal mind--or minds--would reason that nothing better would frighten those striking workers back into submission than to have their spiritual leader killed in plain daylight. Chessboard mentality, I think. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-Marxism--Remembering--Political-Murders-in-Dixie--tp28133436p28136935.html Sent from the Marxism mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
