Today is the 43rd anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. This is one of my favorite pictures of Dr. King, taken in 1956 by photojournalist Dan Weiner in Montgomery, Alabama. As Paul Krugman reminds readers, Dr. King was murdered while visiting Memphis in support of organized labor, specifically, African-American sanitation workers.
