| This amazing VHS/DVD contains RARE LIVE NEWS COVERAGE coverage of Matrin Luther King's assassination, beginning on the day it happened, 4/4/68, and including a news broadcast from 4/5/68 when rioting really broke out. Here is what you get: First, you will see a partial ABC newscast from April 4, 1968 with the breaking news of Dr. King's assassination in Memphis. This is dramatic, and it includes a young Peter Jennings joining the newscast. Next, you will see a 35 complete uncut CBS Evening News broadcast from that same night anchored by Walter Cronkite, also featuring the tragic news. That segment starts with a five minute CBS Special Report with Dan Rather breaking the news. The news broadcasts are both in beautiful color. The CBS newscast includes original commercials. Then, you get a 30 minute late night newscast from WTOP, the local Washington, D.C. affiliate station, further reporting on the tragedy. Lastly, you will see another 30 minute WTOP late night newscast from the next day, 4/5/68, with further reports on the riots and the shooting aftermath. All broadcasts are in color and are of very good picture quality. This incredible DVD/VHS will bring you right back to a very turbulent time in our nation's history and is one that would be an amazing addition to any political or historical collection.
