Ahmir-Khalib Thompson:
You're really naive if you think that Martin Luther King just happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time, at the Lorainne Hotel. And this random guy just came and shot and killed him. Uh-uh. Martin Luther King sort of had a change of heart. Martin Luther King was starting to take a more militant, stronger position. And his new battle was; no war. The government said, 'Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. He's about to come in our territory. Like, it's one thing to let you take a sh*t in the same toilet that I do. You know, I'll give you that; but you ain't about to stop my money flow. Uh-uh; you gotta go!'
