#OnThisDay (from Fox News)

#OnThisDay
  • 1968: Martin Luther King Jr. is shot and killed while standing on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn.; his slaying sparks a wave of riots nationwide. Suspected gunman James Earl Ray would later plead guilty to assassinating King, but then spends the rest of his life claiming he'd been the victim of a setup.
    • In 2012, Karen, my brother-in-law Mark, and my sister-in-law Susie saw where MLK was assassinated, but I did not because I was at the WritersUA sessions.
  • 1975: Microsoft is founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen.
  • 2008: Beyonce and Jay-Z are married during a private ceremony in New York.
