Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.

It was 58 years ago on April 4, 1968, when the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn. The shot rang out at 6:01 pm CST. One bullet silenced one of the greatest Americans in history.
