Where the Assassin Stood

Where the Assassin Stood

The building on the left is the abandoned building from which Groskinsky took several of his photographs on the night of April 4; the building on the right is likely the house from which James Earl Ray shot Dr. King. "The atmosphere of those dark, creepy buildings ... It was a little scary crawling into the building, because who knows who is going to be there? Who doesn't want you to be there?"
