Texas Standard For April 4, 2018
April 4, 1968: a date that changed America. 50 years on, how do Texans remember the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.? Two weeks before, a choir from Prairie View A&M performed before Martin Luther King at the Lorraine Motel where King was assassinated. We talk with the leader of that choir and his brother who led a reenactment of the event in Memphis. And: The only African-American-owned bank in Texas expands to Atlanta.
