    VINTAGE NEWSPAPERS - APRIL 5, 1968
    MEMPHIS PRESS-SCIMITAR(2 sections + showtime insert)
    THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL (3 sections + Woolco Dept. Store Ad)
    "DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING SLAIN"
    These 2 newspapers have ware, tears and staining consistent with age. See pictures.  They have lots of great pictures, articles, ads and cartoons from of the time and of course the the articles on the assassination of Martin Luther King.  It is very disturbing to see the picture on the front page of the second section of the Memphis Press in which 3 young black men are being held by gunpoint for being out after curfew. (getting ready to throw them in the paddy wagon.)  The man who shot King was a young white man so clearly this was uncalled for.  There are inserts in each paper with some great ads and Bob Hope is on the cover of a TV and movie program.  These newspapers are great historical keepsakes.
    I may be able to combine shipping and If you live near Niles, MI (SW MI) you can pick them up at an antique mall I work at.
    Thanks for looking and have a lovely day.  Sammy
