“His only crime was fighting for human rights without violence – Say a little prayer today for Martin Luther King and the Bloody Sunday victims”. A poster of MLK is placed at the base of the Bloody Sunday memorial in Joseph Place, Derry. He was shot in Memphis on April 4th, 1968. The phrase “his only crime” is used by loyalists in the phrase “his only crime was loyalty”, which dates back (at least) to home rule.
