April 1968: Newspaper Sources
In this gallery, we're hoping to gather more of your recollections about the events that shook Trenton between April 4th and April 10th, 1968, after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We don’t have many images; most photos we have are from the Trenton Evening Times and the Trentonian. Some are copies in private hands but most are from microfilm scans and the Trentoniana Room. It's hard to tell from these photos what happened, exactly where, the order of events, and the feeling on the street. Your first- or second-hand accounts would be incredibly valuable. If you have photographs or film we would be able to duplicate them. Every detail becomes a piece of the puzzle. Click on the first photo to begin.
