I received the following email about an hour long meditation in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from the “Peace Center” in Chinatown:

“Join us for Meditation at 1:01 p.m. Wednesday, April 4, 2007 in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

At 6:01 p.m. on April 4, 1968, a shot rang out. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had been standing on the balcony of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, now lay sprawled on the balcony’s floor. A gaping wound covered a large portion of his jaw and neck. A great man who had spent thirteen years of his life dedicating himself to nonviolent protest had been felled by a sniper’s bullet.

Spend an hour in meditation and remembrance of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was assassinated 39 years ago on April 4, 1968.
