Exclusive, heartbreaking photos from the Lorraine motel on the day Martin Luther King died. (see more here)

Pictured: Theatrice Bailey attempts to clean blood from the balcony, hours after the 6 p.m. shooting.

“I don’t know if there were official people around taking notes and pictures and things like that. Nobody was there when we were there. And the fact that the blood was still on the floor, and this man is actually putting it in a jar … When you see a picture like that, God, it feels invasive.”
