On the timing of MLK Jr.'s death

For those who are keeping up with Project 1968, I wanted to let you know that the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. happened in the evening, around 7 p.m. Janine and Amy wrote their entries in the afternoon, so they are unaware of what is in store for the country several hours later.

Like what actually happened, both characters will be wrapped up in the events surrounding Dr. King's death for weeks to come. Interviews, book discussions and other supporting documentation will be posted.

It's not just one day anniversary in their world.

The entries are set to go live at in the mid-afternoon today. Be sure to stop by.
