in our future as a successful
independent airline, Ted Christie, Spirit CEO, via Associated Press.
AP reports that JetBlue will be required to
pay Spirit a termination fee of $69 million.
Last year, the Justice Department moved to
block the merger, claiming it would reduce
competition and drive up costs for consumers.
In January, a Boston federal
district judge blocked the deal,
claiming it would violate antitrust laws. .
News of the cancellation drove
shares of JetBlue Airways up
over 5% in premarket trading.
At the same time, news of the
abandoned merger caused stock
in Spirit to drop over 13%

April 4, 1968.
King was shot and killed
as he stood on the second-floor balcony
of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN.
The āapostle of nonviolenceā
had gone to Memphis in support
of a sanitation workers' strike.

face of the American Civil Rights Movement,
Dr. King was just 39 years old.

King stated that, āIāve 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.
