The Commercial-Appeal in Memphis, which used the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King's death in 2008 to apologize for its coverage of him at the time, offered a tribute today to his work against poverty. The paper points out King was fighting for the poor as much as for the discriminated. It also offers a look back at the 1968 Memphis garbage strike that brought him to town for that fateful day. -- Joe Strupp
