Many people know Martin Luther King Jr. died in Memphis, few know what he was doing there. Labor historian and U.W. Professor Michael Honey reveals King's shift in emphasis from desegregation and voting rights to the war and the plight of the working class coalescing in the Poor People's campaign. Professor Honey joins us to talk about his book Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King's Last Campaign.
