Jimmy Carter actually said...

"Dr. King's tragic death deprived our Nation of one of its greatest leaders."

"The establishment of this unique National Historic Site will protect the places where Dr. King lived, worked, and worshiped and where he is buried."

"Justice Gunter recommended that a settlement of the claims be negotiated rather than litigated because of the length of time litigation would require."

"He had become a symbol for all the world of the power of the nonviolent struggle for human rights."
