Martin Luther King Jr.: Never Again Where He Was
The jetliner left Atlanta and raced through the night toward Los Angeles. From his window seat, the black man gazed down at the shadowed outlines of the Appalachians, then leaned back against a white pillow. In the dimmed cabin light, his dark, impassive face seemed enlivened only by his big, shiny, compelling eyes. Suddenly, the plane spuddered in a pocket of severe turbulence. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. turned a wisp of a smile to his companion and said: "I guess that's Birmingham down below."

But Carroll's remains were never recovered until this year, despite a search that began in 1993. A particularly pessimistic government report last year left family members thinking nothing would ever be found. Now, family members have the bittersweet joy of burying Carroll's remains at the Air Force Academy Cemetery in Colorado Springs next week. "It was just so unexpected," Carroll's daughter, Julie Zouzounis, now 42, said Thursday. "It was exciting and wonderful and fitting.
