Martin Luther King Riots-April 1968

MLK was killed in April 1968 while Mit and Helen and Gerry were living in Chicago about 2 miles apart.  Chicago erupted in flames and raging gun battles.  In this audio clip, you'll hear these three people recount the events as they happened.  A rather incredible recording!  Gerry was working at 35th and State in a very black section of Chicago and had to get home through some pretty tough neighborhoods.  On the tape, he's pretty nonchalant about this but in reality, it was pretty scary.
