One of the most powerful stories in our history During the riots that broke out in DC after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, our former owner Lacey C. Wilson Jr. sat right here in this booth — protecting Florida Ave Grill with a shotgun for days and nights to keep the doors, the staff, and the heart of the Grill safe. This booth isn’t just a seat — it’s a symbol of resilience, community, and the spirit that’s kept us standing strong since 1944. #FloridaAveGrill #Since1944

15 reactions · 19 comments | It’s been 50 years since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was a champion for many noble causes, the last of which was the labor movement in Memphis to support the Sanitation Workers Strike in their push for better working conditions. Dr. King knew the strength of true unity across labor, racial and cultural lines, and we are all better for his legacy and life's work. #MLK50 | NFL Players Association | Facebook
