When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis in 1968, the world focused on the Lorraine Motel but few ever looked across the street. Inside Fire Station No. 2, just steps away, Black officer Edward E. Redditt was assigned to protect King’s room. Then, at 4 p.m. hours before the shot was fired he was suddenly told to go home.

It was surreal visiting the last place that MLK stood.
