What if Martin Luther King Jr. survived the assassination attempt in Memphis?

In Delta-24, Dream Still Alive, the bullet never leaves the chamber—and a movement transforms. King leads a midnight march through Memphis, reignites the Poor People’s Campaign, and reshapes the fight for justice across five decades.

This is not the story of a martyr. It’s the story of what comes after survival: scandal, compromise, triumph, and legacy. Through the lives of sanitation worker Nathaniel Booker, his policy-driven daughter Delores, and his activist grandson Jordan, this timeline traces the ripple effects of King’s continued voice—from candlelit vigils to Capitol Hill, from economic justice to modern digital resistance.
