58 years ago, a South African immigrant named Joseph Louw heard a gunshot at the Lorraine Motel and ran toward it, camera in hand.

He took the photograph that showed the world what happened to Dr. King.

Today, the Trump administration is defunding the public broadcasting that made his work possible. Cutting DEI programs. Releasing FBI surveillance files over King’s family’s objections.
