Almost 41 years to the day after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, more photographs of the aftermath of his shooting at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., have surfaced.
About a dozen black-and-white pictures newly published on Thursday include scenes of King’s associates meeting in the civil- rights leader’s motel room or standing on the balcony where he stood for the last time and workers cleaning the last of the blood.
The photos were taken April 4, 1968, by “Life” photographer Henry Groskinsky.
There was no explanation on the website of why the photos hadn’t been published before.
