THE FIRST ATTEMPT:

In 1958, at a Harlem bookstore. A 42-year old black woman (Izola Ware Curry) plunged a letter opener into Martin Luther King, Jr.'s chest. If he would have sneezed, he would have died. He was rushed to a Harlem hospital (above), to undergo 3 hours of surgery where he survived.

But, what ever happened to Izola Ware Curry?

Curry's reasoning for the attack. She detested preachers and the Negro church. She felt ministers were flimflam artists who pimped the black community. She also hated the NAACP and white people. She believed that organized groups were after her, to ruin her life.

Curry later claimed that she was mentally deranged. Regardless, she believed that King was the leader of a Communist movement. King did not press charges against Curry, who was later admitted to an insane asylum.

After being confined to a asylum, Curry disappeared from the headlines. We don't know if she's still alive or not and no photo exists of her.

Some conspiracy theorists have speculated that Curry was an easily manipulated pawn who was encouraged to murder King and to take the fall, alone. But the plan went awry when King survived the attack.

Curry has disappeared from the face of the earth which is odd because would be assassins (of public figures) are usually tracked.
