Its also an observation made by veterans of the movement including former City Council member James Netters, who at age 86 still speaks to children about the Memphis of 1968.
The Rev. James Netters, who marched with King and the sanitation workers as a city councilman, said he proposed naming a street for King in the early 1970s, but the City Council voted to dedicate a stretch of Interstate 240 to him instead.
