This Day in History: , Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Is Assassinated.
April 4, 1968.
King was shot and killed
as he stood on the second-floor balcony
of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN.
The “apostle of nonviolence”
had gone to Memphis in support
of a sanitation workers' strike.
Widely recognized as the most prominent
face of the American Civil Rights Movement,
Dr. King was just 39 years old.
In a prophetic speech the night before his murder,
King stated that, “I’ve seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.".
Petty criminal James Earl Ray was arrested
two months later and eventually
pleaded guilty to King's assassination.
After being sentenced to 99 years in prison,
Ray recanted his confession. Questions of a
conspiracy to assassinate Dr. King continue to linger.
King's death sparked riots in
more than 100 American cities.
On April 9, tens of thousands of mourners
lined the streets of Atlanta to pay their respects
on the day King was laid to rest

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' has captured the attention of Georgia's Secretary of State. The season premiere of the final season of the HBO comedy featured Larry David being arrested for violating Georgia's election integrity law for giving his friend Leon Black's aunt a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote on a hot day in Atlanta. He's now facing a looming trial on the series. The storyline must have made its way to the state capitol, because last month Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, sent a letter to David addressing the plotline about the 2021 voting law.

Wendy’s Says It , ‘Will Not Implement
Surge Pricing’ , After All.
On Feb. 15, Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner highlighted
the company's new menu boards which would support pricing changes, Quartz reports. .
Beginning as early as 2025, we will
begin testing more enhanced features
like dynamic pricing and daypart offerings, along with AI-enabled menu
changes and suggestive selling, Kirk Tanner, Wendy's CEO, via earnings call.
As we continue to show the benefit
of this technology in our company-operated
restaurants, franchisee interest in digital
menu boards should increase,
further supporting sales and profit
growth across the system, Kirk Tanner, Wendy's CEO, via earnings call.
Tanner's comments eventually
gained national attention, comparing
"dynamic pricing" to "surge pricing," the practice
of raising prices when demand is highest.
The notion of Wendy's raising prices at
peak times didn't make customers happy.
Now, a company spokesperson says that the
fast food chain won't be implementing the practice. .
We said these [digital] menu boards
would give us more flexibility to change
the display of featured items. , Wendy's spokesperson, via statement.
This was misconstrued in some
media reports as an intent to
raise prices when demand is
highest at our restaurants, Wendy's spokesperson, via statement.
We have no plans to do that and
would not raise prices when our
customers are visiting us most, Wendy's spokesperson, via statement.
Digital menu boards could allow
us to change the menu offerings
at different times of day and offer
discounts and value offers to our
customers more easily, particularly
in the slower times of day, Wendy's spokesperson, via statement
