Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebrated by ArcheBooks

Mel Ayton, ArcheBooks author and acclaimed documentary specialist on the infamous crime, `A Racial Crime: James Earl Ray and the Murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.` (ArcheBooks 2005), is being offered as part of a special promotion through Black History Month (February). The documentary, one of the most contemporary chronicles published on the topic will contribute greatly to the educational aspect of the month.

Mel Ayton`s book reveals significant new information from secret Scotland Yard files that was not available until recent years. This carefully researched and documented evidence and historical analysis finally puts to rest much of the controversy and confusion over Dr. King`s tragic death?not only from the perspective of exactly what happened, in detail, but more importantly, WHY it happened. British author and Historian, Mel Ayton, brings a unique perspective to this great mystery, with an objective and unbiased eye.

`This is an important book,` explained Robert Gelinas, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of ArcheBooks. `The turbulent era of the 1960`s was rife with seminal moments that changed our culture and the direction of our nation. The death of Dr. King was one of those moments. Therefore, it
vitally important that Americans know the truth about what really happened in those times. The truth is known now, and we want to draw as much attention to these facts as we can, for the benefit of all Americans.`
