In this Feb. 21, 2018 photo, Dr. Jerry Francisco sits in his retirement apartment in Memphis, Tenn. As the Shelby County medical examiner at the time, Francisco performed the autopsy on Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. when he was assassinated in Memphis on April 4, 1968. After the 1½ hour procedure, Francisco drove home through a city that had been placed under curfew, for fear of rioting. “The streets were just virtually empty. I was the only car moving on the street,” he said. It was eerie, he recalled. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)
