        .LBJ probably had King killed just as he had Kennedy killed.

        Wow. I'm 59 and I remember vividly where I was for both events, but I had forgotten that they were so close together.

        Born in 1951 this is all very familiar to me, Johnson's decision not to run for another term, MLK's assassination, but was unaware Life cancelled the cover of Johnson and replaced it with King after the assassination. Interesting tidbit.

        Before CIA assassinations of MLK and RFK 85% of population were hearing SOME starting point critiques of War Economy effects of domestic $$ inequality. After CIA assassinations of MLK and RFK? about 20% diminishing to today's 1%. That's the elections folks. All of em.

        You know how you have certain memories seared into your brain? This is 1 of mine...I was a child in the back seat of the car, my Mother was driving & the news came over the radio that LBJ was not seeking re-election. My Mother cheered, but I didn’t understand why.

        Your comment makes no sense. LBJ announced he wouldn’t seek re-election 50 years ago, & “Mexicans” didn’t have anything to do with it. But if you’re asking why (now, as an adult) I believe my Mother was happy, the answer is “Vietnam”, which is 2 lengthy to explain 2 you here.

        LBJ did so much for civil rights, it was a passion of his especially in the Latin American community.

        Johnson withdrew in part to be freed from any perception of political motivation for the last 10 months of his presidency. He had nothing to gain other than accomplishing what is right. MLK’s assassination stalled his goal. But still: The Fair Housing Act of 1968. Gun Control.
