The first quarter of the year is now behind us and things are beginning to heat up at RobertsJustice. We are currently preparing a piece about Martin Luther King Jr. who died on the 4th of April 1968 - exactly 43 years ago this coming week. When I started preparing this piece, I had a picture of what I wanted to accomplish - which amounted to merely cataloging documents and other journalistic work about the assassination of MLK. But as I delved into the research materials I realized it was a much bigger project than a blogger with very limited resources can produce competently. There were so many unanswered questions that it was almost disappointing. What the project really needs is a cross between investigative journalism and a formal proceeding with the power to subpoena individuals. Nevertheless, we were able to create something that a mere blogger should be expected to produce.
The questions that we came up with were interesting and like many unsolved mysteries that just gnaws on a person, it made me want to dig deeper. Perhaps, in the future I might be able to raise the resources and finally put all these questions to rest.
Look for our piece on Monday - on the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
