Local liquor stores were ordered to stay closed that day, an event that hadn’t occurred since Prohibition. Officials even rigged the audio system so that they could quickly cut Martin Luther King Jr.’s microphone and switch to music if he were to say anything that might incite violence. None of these measures were necessary, however, as the day was entirely peaceful.
