FamousPictures Magazine Source I did a little digging and it appears that the story about the switchboard operator dying of a heart attack is a fabrication According to the cited page operator in question was the motel owner s wife But the motel was owned by Ralph Abernathy and his wife Juanita just gave a speech last month As far as I can tell FamousPictures Magazine is just another wiki which suggests it should be trusted like any other Wikipedia editor in other words not at all I m going to go ahead and remove all the material from that source right now from this and the MLK main page
