III. Event Represented by the Artifact/Significance
Martin Luther King's final speech sometimes referred to "I've Been to the Mountaintop". Dr. King was assassinated the next day in Memphis, TN, on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. According the the History Network, Dr. King owned five of six black suits and ties. He dressed with funereal conservatism which is the same way he dressed during the day of the speech thus providing a striking comparison to a speaker dressing in attire that was fit for a funeral. http://hnn.us/articles/3090.html
