04 Apr I.AM.2018 – Commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis

Posted at 15:18h in Uncategorized by

In Memphis 50 years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated while standing in solidarity with working people. King stood beside striking sanitation workers who proudly proclaimed, “I Am a Man.”

This week, the BCTGM was among thousands who marched through the streets of Memphis in solidarity with the thousands who marched for justice and dignity 50 years ago.

Pictured here is the proud BCTGM delegation in front of AFSCME Local 1733, on Beale Street which was renamed “1968 Strikers Lane” in honor of the sanitation workers who courageously stood up for racial equality, safer jobs and greater respect.
