Eerie images provide a snapshot from inside an old funeral home once run by a sponsor of Martin Luther King, who defied the KKK by campaigning for black voters to register.
One image shows an abandoned Cadillac hearse turning green in the yard, while another shot shows the plethora of wigs available to the morticians for dressing the bodies. There is even a shot of a toe tag that would have been allocated to the corpses.
This funeral home has a rich history, with ties to Martin Luther King. The co-owner of the funeral home, who ran it during the tempestuous years of the US Civil Rights Movement, was Virgil Eugene Dimery Sr.
