A special exhibit opens tomorrow at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta. It commemorates the 40th anniversary of the civil rights leader's assassination. The artifacts and photographs of "From Memphis to Atlanta: The Drum Major Returns Home" chronicle the final days and hours before King's death to the funeral procession by thousands of mourners through his hometown five days later. The centerpiece is the actual wagon drawn by two mules as it carried King's casket from the funeral at Ebenezer Baptist Church where he preached to a memorial service at Morehouse College, his alma mater.
