CHARLOTTE ( QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Monday is a federal holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The American minister and civil rights leader passed away in 1968, but his life and legacy still live on. While his work made waves globally, his work here in the Queen City is lesser known but not to be overlooked.
In Harlem, New York, while signing copies of his first book, “Stride Toward Freedom,” Izola Ware Curry stabbed King with a letter opener between his heart and lung. He was taken to Harlem Hospital where his physician, Dr. Aubré D. Maynard, said, “If you had sneezed, your aorta would have been punctured and you would have drowned in your own blood.”
It was first proposed four days after King's 1968 assassination outside a Memphis motel. It took 15 years until it became a federal holiday.
