At the Mason Temple, King delivered his famous " I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech. In it, he recalled his 1958 attempted assassination, noting that the doctor who treated him had said that because the knife used to stab him was so close to his aorta, any sudden movement, even a sneeze, might have killed him. [13] He referred to a letter written by a young girl who told him that she was happy that he had not sneezed.

[11] The following day, Prime Minister David Cameron also issued an appeal to the public, commenting that "clearly having this happen to you, and the fact that she suffers from cerebral palsy, something I know a little about from my own children, only makes this worse.

Critics of the official verdict on King's death bristled at Killing the Dream, criticizing Posner for, in part, basing it on "a psychological evaluation of James Earl Ray, which he [Posner] is not qualified to give, and he dismisses evidence of conspiracy in King's murder as cynical attempts to exploit the tragedy". [82] Pepper repeatedly dismissed Posner's book as inaccurate and misleading, and Dexter King also criticized it. [70] In response to the 1999 verdict in King vs. Jowers, Posner told The New York Times, "It distresses me greatly that the legal system was used in such a callous and farcical manner in Memphis. If the King family wanted a rubber stamp of their own view of the facts, they got it."

Coxon provides an earthy counterpoint to Knapp’s crystalline, melancholy melody in a song that touches on the darker elements of the season: although the lyrics are ostensibly happy there is a yearning to the song that makes it seem like an unfulfilled wish.
