Forty years ago tonight, Washington burned, baby, burned -- just as so many other cities burned after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. And it only took about 40 years to fix up some of the destroyed neighborhoods along H Street NE, 14th and U, and various other chunks of the District that ended up looking like Hiroshima after the Bomb.
Happy MLK Assassination Riot Day, Washington!
