  • Who Killed Martin Luther King? by Maria Gilardin / April 4Th, 2008
    Skip to content Who Killed Martin Luther King? by Maria Gilardin / April 4th, 2008 This article is based on the work of a remarkable man. Dr. William Pepper is an attorney, author, and friend of Martin Luther King and his family. In February 1967 King had asked to meet a young man whose work as a journalist in Vietnam showed the terrible impact on the civilian population. King wept and never wavered in his opposition to the war. That young man was Bill Pepper. He became James Earl Ray’s lawyer and assembled the evidence that exonerated Ray — some of which is described below. Six-oh-one p.m., April 4th, 1968, Martin Luther King has been felled by a single shot. In 1977 the family of Martin Luther King engaged an attorney and friend, Dr. William Pepper, to investigate a suspicion they had. They no longer believed that James Earl Ray was the killer. For their peace of mind, for an accurate record of history, and out of a sense of justice they conducted a two decade long investigation. The evidence they uncovered was put before a jury in Memphis, TN, in November 1999. 70 witnesses testified under oath, 4,000 pages of transcripts described the evidence, much of it new. It took the jury 59 minutes to come back with their decision that Loyd Jowers, owner of Jim’s Grill, had participated in a conspiracy to kill King, a conspiracy that included J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, Richard Helms and the CIA, the military, the Memphis Police Department (MPD), and organized crime.

Sir, can we start with saying when and where you were born, please. S: I was born in Nashville on July 27, 1927. I will be seventy-six next month. H: How did you start in your involvement with The Tennessean ? S: I was a child of nepotism. My uncle was circulation director and chairman of the board of control of both newspapers [the Nashville Tennessean and the Nashville Banner ]. The newspapers were independently owned, but they had what was called a joint operating agreement in which they shared the building, the business staffs B advertising, circulation, and finance and human resources B and profit-shared, with the approval of the Justice Department =s Anti-trust Division. There were at the time twenty-two joint operating agreements in the United States. There are much fewer today. H: And you took over the city editor desk in the 1950s. Is that correct? S: I went to work there in 1949 and became weekend city editor in about 1954 or 1955, somewhere in there. I was basically an investigative reporter from 1951 until I became weekend city editor. Then, three days a week, I worked on special projects. In that interim, I also had a stint of about six months on the Sunny Magazine , which the newspaper operated. But I followed that same route that most young journalists in those days followed.

    A. B. “HAPPY” CHANDLER AND THE POLITICS OF CIVIL RIGHTS by JOHN PAUL HILL (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex civil rights views of Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler, one of Kentucky’s most controversial and charismatic politicians of the twentieth century. To offer perspective on his positions, this study focuses on Chandler’s statements and actions during several important periods in civil rights history. Chandler served two terms as governor (1935-1939, 1955-1959). During the first, the NAACP launched its first concerted campaign to desegregate the University of Kentucky. During the second, whites in two western Kentucky communities violently protested efforts to desegregate local schools in compliance with the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Between his two terms as governor, Chandler served six years in the United States Senate (1939-1945) and six years as commissioner of Major League Baseball (1945-1951). As a member of the Senate, Chandler voted on antilynching legislation and on two bills designed to eliminate the poll tax in state and federal elections. During his term as commissioner, the game’s entrenched, longstanding ban on interracial play collapsed when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In 1968, nine years after he had last held elective office, Chandler nearly became the running mate of George C. Wallace, the arch-segregationist former governor of Alabama who was pursuing the presidency under the banner of the American Independent Party. Despite his flirtation with Wallace, Chandler’s overall handling of the important civil rights matters of the day clearly distinguished him from most of his southern political colleagues.

  • Parture of the Nearly 70 Witnesses and Film the Proceedings
    P A R T TWO C H A P T E R 9 THE TRIAL We were indeed first out on November 15, 1999. The Judge agreed to let one media pool camera in the courtroom along with our own video camera. The media camera, like the media itself, would come and go (they were nearly always absent, with the notable and sole exception of local anchorman Wendell Stacy who almost lost his jo b at that time over his insistence that he attend every day. – so important did he regard the case. He was eventually fired and by August 2000 was preparing a wrongful dismissal action.) Jury selection began that morning in the small Division IV courtroom. We discussed moving the case to a larger courtroom, but because of the Judge’s health needs, it was agreed that the trial would remain in his usual room. The Judge disclosed to both sides that he had been a member of the group, which had carried Dr. King’s casket from the funeral home in Memphis after the assassination. If, therefore, either side wanted him to withdraw, he said he would, we certainly had no reason to do so although the defense might have felt differently. Defense attorney Garrison also had no objection. The Judge stayed on the case. After almost despairing about finding an acceptable local counsel, I finally was able to obtain the services of Juliet Hill-Akines, a young black lawyer, who had been admitted to the Bar in 1994. Before Juliet agreed, I discussed the possibility with a large number of local lawyers, all of whom turned down the opportunity – usually because they were advised that it would have a negative impact on their careers.
