Civil rights activists from across the country are coming to Memphis to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior on the 50th anniversary of his assassination, including the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

He was at the Lorraine Motel the night Doctor King was shot.

Jackson joined us this morning along with Bishop Henry Williamson and Joseph Kyles.
