You cannot hear the name Martin Luther King, Jr., and not think of death. You might hear the words 'I have a dream,' but they will doubtlessly only serve to underscore an image of a simple motel balcony, a large man made small, a pool of blood. For as famous as he may have been in life, it is - and was - death that ultimately defined him. ✨ Michael Eric Dyson (2009). April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Death and How It Changed America, p.3, Basic Books
