King died – found at the bottom of his family’s swimming pool in July of 1969, about 15 months after his brother was assassinated in Memphis. Like his brother, he was also a graduate of Morehouse College, a minister and active in the civil rights movement.

His work caused many Americans to reappraise the man they had voted out of office four years before. Now that he no longer served them from the White House, it seemed, people were free to appreciate the idealism and selflessness they had first appreciated in Carter in 1976.

That night two thousand supporters and a large press television corps turned out at the Mason Temple to here an address by the 20th century most peaceful warrior.
