Ten years before he was felled by an assassin's bullet, the Rev. Mr. Martin Luther King was stabbed in the chest in a department store while autographing books. New York Governor Averell Harriman, left, talks with the Dr. King and his wife Coretta Scott King in Harlem Hospital, September 22, 1958. The governor said after the visit that he had made Mr. King laugh when he said that the clergyman was the only calm person in the hospital the night of the stabbing.
