Historians have known for many years that civil rights icon Martin Luther King had been unfaithful to his wife. But now, David Garrow, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1987 for his biography of King, has unearthed previously classified FBI documents showing that King was genuinely sexually depraved. From the Times of London (behind subscriber paywall):
A huge archive of documents recently released from Federal Bureau of Investigation files exposes in detail Kings sexual activities with dozens of women as he travelled the country campaigning against racial inequality...

Jamestown, that’s it. You trust the FBI really to tell ‘the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’ Really? I do not.
Exactly - the street names are warnings, haha. Now if only the GPS apps would have ghettos marked/ ‘avoid at all costs’ or something. I’ve been directed to neighborhoods in DC and NJ where I wanted to slide down under my dashboard.
You left out the fact that King’s message of ‘nonviolent protest’ saved a lot of people from bloodshed while we were working out the logistics of bringing the Black people into full and active citizenship.
(And you are wrong about this thread. The article that the OP posted was a veiled attack on Trump. It was NOT about King at all.)
Not possible. There were too many in power who wanted to discredit him. If they had proof like this, it would have come out decades ago.
I think we’re talking about FBIs that are separated by many decades.
I think that there are still many people in the FBI who are genuine patriots, and follow the rules. A lot of them - especially some of the higher-ups - don’t.
We need to clean it up - but we can’t do it by emotionally reacting to a politically motivated and contrived article that shows up here. This article is just noise.
James Brown calms Boston following the King assassination
Charges the American people don’t want to hear!
This stuff is always falling out about King because it is so salacious and there’s plenty off it. Like hundreds of hours of porn.
Methinks, the celebrated author and MLK historian is sick of white-washing King’s legacy and is going to pen a real MLK book, finally. He has access to loads of fresh material that contradicts most of the image that he has so carefully portrayed of the good Reverend for years.
Let’s see what he does with it. The information is not his exclusively and rivals are likely typing FOIA requests as I write. There’s lots of new stuff.
Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn... child our of wedlock with a married bro’s wife, mocking & coaching a church lady’s rape, coercing women to perform lesbo/homo acts for an audience, chasing nearly naked hookers in hallways in Oslo, orgies, more orgies, screaming F..... profanity in God’s name while boinking.... and so forth.
Such is the life of a Southern Baptist Civil Rights preacher. King had charisma and he should have been starring in films.
I don’t really care. It was a long time ago, and i’m not living back there, now.
King did a lot of good work in the world, despite any personal flaws, and I believe that he has gone on to new and ever more enlightened adventures.
YMMV.
My comments pertain specifically to the information emerging from the declassified document dumps and the new summarization that the historian has shared. Which I assume is the same news being circulated since this thread excerpted very little material.
The other articles I have read make no mention of President Trump unless it is to reference he signed the JFK doc release in Nov 2017. Two dozen King papers were included in that batch.
If they had something on trump, we’d of already heard it. If they actually had something, the Russian Collusion hoax wouldn’t have been necessary.
“Baloney, he lives alone with another man his whole life and took vacations with him.”
Baloney’s ass. It’s not speculation; it’s demonstrated in official documents.
One of the worst side effects of the rise of sodomites is that any friendship between men is suspect.
But you just go right ahead doing the KGB’s work for them. It lets the rest of us know what we’re dealing with.
#metoo doesnt exist if no one in the American press will report it.
“But Kings personal flaws do not erase his accomplishments”
Put on a nice suit and take a stroll through a bad area of Detroit after dark. Every bullet you take will be one of his “accomplishments.”
I heard decades ago that mlk was not faithful to his wife. I never knew orgies and rape. But no one on twitter or reddit believes this. If King was another amoral Cosby, while pretending to be a man of the cloth, we should have the actual evidence.
And you can be asexual and very gay. Tim Gunn is a very interesting man. He sets off all gaydar but in truth he is asexual, though of course his orientation appears male to male. He lives alone and doesnt date.
I can not view the article since my laptop blocks the source. But I am assuming that line is from the London Times?
Which is their desperate attempt to constantly attack potus, no matter the topic.
Rest assured, the other articles focus exclusively on King as does the historian.
who is digging into Kings files.
How can one be ‘asexual’ and ‘homosexual’ at the same time?
People may appear to be ‘gay’, while they are really asexual.
It seems that people project their preconceived notions onto others whose experience they just don’t understand.
A lot of people want others to be exactly like they are; and if the others are not, they don’t understand and can’t just ‘leave alone’.
If they change the street names, we won’t know where to avoid.
