Will his statue, like Kate Smith's, be covered, and taken down for being a rape accomplice?
I heard ‘rumors’ of infidelity many many years ago.......but nothing as damaging as this revelation.
What is the motive here?......who benefits from this exposure?
When to the statues come down? How about the street names?

Is anyone really surprised? This information has been around for years in one form or another.
King was also found to have plagiarized parts of his doctoral thesis.

This is “old news”, the transcripts have been around for many years.
One that sort of jumped off the page was something like “Get over here and suck my dick you big buck ni**er”.
“Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That” (tm)
I think this is good news because...may turn off and turn away black #MeToo women. Dissension in the ranks, catfights, etc etc. Let them eat their own.
This is outright stupid.
All of this was known (but largely ignored) at the time.
It has been a topic of discussion most of my life.
How does something that wasn’t a secret about a long dead guy connect to the Me Too stuff?
This is just a lazy writer rehashing worn out events of the past instead of researching something.
Ah, such a conundrum, do we erase his legacy because of his sins?
The Founders are chuckling from their graves.
I would say the Deep State came after MLK. First of all a prancing homosexual running the FBI had him illegally wiretapped, using bugs placed in an illegal burglary. And now, is Trump is declassifying everything related to the coup attempt, suddenly the FBI fires a shot across the bow and reminds everybody that they have blackmail material on all kinds of people.
Quite a coincidence that we’re hearing all about MLK 55 years later all the sudden
“I have a dream.
I dream that someday little black babies and little white babies are playing in the park together.
And the little black baby whupped the little white baby topside the head. And stole his lunch money.
And the little white baby cried out, ‘Where is my justice?’.
And the little black baby said to the little white baby ‘You ain’t gettin’ no justice because the police are black and the police chief is black and the mayor is black and the governor is black. So you ain’t gettin’ no justice today, you little cracker.
Now you understand what it used to feel like bein’ us.’
I have a dream...”

I have long believed that the blackout of discussion about Rev. King’s sexual behavior is related to the very low standards of sexual morality among many African Americans. It’s rather like Moslems with Mohammed: if he did it, it must be admirable.
Glad this piece has been posted. I previously thought these accusations were “a baloney sandwich.” I may have spoken too soon. But King’s personal flaws do not erase his accomplishments
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.
Charges the American people don’t want to hear!
#metoo doesn’t exist if no one in the American press will report it.
I thought they were busy with Biden?
So esteemed MLK historian expert civil rights author- David Garrow has been quite condemning of the FBI wiretap of King and has been defending King for 40+ years. BUT
But now, Garrow KNOWS the FBI tapes are authentic because they are 100% consistent with the new phone tap conversations from the file. Plus all the other incidental things happening in the life of MLK -witnesses, times, dates, people, places & writings collaborate these events. And he is going to write about before some tabloid with a FOIA request, gets there first!
The HOTEL room bug transcripts are now solidly confirmed by the wiretapped phone conversation transcripts which occur around the days of those sex events.
1. So the FBI tapes included the raping a church lady who is loudly protesting as King offers rape-advice to the other pastor with other fellow church women present at the Willard Hotel.
2. Another FBI tape has King forcing or coercing women into performing lesbian acts or sodomy acts for King’s group entertainment’ show at an orgy for fellow pastors in Miami.
These ARE the tapes which the FBI copies and then delivers one copy to MLK and a separate copy to Coretta King with a warning to cease his CR activities or risk exposure. (MLK rejects them and claiming to be invincible). FBI is anticipating mayhem for the upcoming Spring March on the Washington Mall. King died 3 weeks later.
So there were multiple copies of the same sex-episode tapes.
3. King’s dead and the King family and CR leaders want the tapes forgotten and buried for eternity. Congress, The FBI, Family & Friends, etc. know of their existence. This later becomes the bone of contention for years of debate regarding whether to establish that King was a saint and whether to declare the MLK holiday.
4. However, fast forward to 2011 and the release of JFK documents which should have no bearing on MLK. Wrong, They hid some of the MLK documents with the JFK classified files and now they have been consumed and circulated by the press and again in 2013 and 2017,... guaranteed that more MLK docs will pop out.
5. So the original sex tapes, as well as many others are now collaborated-confirmed again by 2nd or 3rd wire taps. King is recorded by phone tap bragging and reliving or discussing these same sexual activities and events to his friends in detail by phone. He is discussing what he and others did- the forced sex details, the orgies, women or attendees by name, etc. These sex conversations were tapped from the phone wires, not the bugs in the lamps at King’s hotel rooms. These recordings could be from wires at home or the office or hotel phones.
These various phone transcripts would confirm the original live sex tapes from the lamp bugs in the hotel room. In any case, they erase any doubt of the tapes or transcripts authenticity. And these transcripts were transcribed by multiple FBI agents, yet they refer to the exact same sexual activities —signed, logged, dated, etc.
6. Jackie-’O’ was referring to King’s orgy at the Willard Hotel as she called King ‘such a despicable man’ after hearing about the sordid activities from Bobby Kennedy.
As Attorney General, Bobby had signed the warrant for the FBI to tap MLK in 1962. Hoover asked for a warrant, the Kennedys refused and said, “Let us talk to him first. Their demand was for MLK to rid his organization of Communists, particularly Stanley Levison, who was a former office holder and the Treasurer of CPUSA. Levison was acting as King’s Chief of Staff and attorney. King refused to comply after speaking with both Bobby and Pres. Kennedy. Bobby signed the FBI warrant and the wire-tap remained in place indefinitely.
This is later discussed on the floor of the Senate with Sen. Jesse Helms challenging the debate whether to declare MLK a National holiday. Dems, especially Ted is condemning Hoover’s wiretap of MLK. Helms is laughing and telling Ted Kennedy he should be taking it up with his brother JFK or Bobby (both deceased) since they are the ones who authorized the FBI to tap MLK- LOL
Back to the present:::After shifting through mounds of overwhelming collaborating data from multiple transcripts, David Garrow- MLK expert admirer historian professor civil rights guru finally wakes up and has an epiphany that his hero is also a complete dirtbag.
Garrow makes the decision to out MLK now because of the #MeToo Movement or to straighten up his own record on MLK. As the premier historian of MLK, he has repeatedly ignored the truth which has always been in plain sight. He also defends and ignores the fact that MLK was a complete academic fraud that plagiarized most of what he wrote, often verbatim. Or Garrow is working on a new book and is cashing in on years of his research.
Camelot gone. MLK myth gone along with it.
Now we know why the MLK documents were poached from the general MLK file and mysteriously stored with John F. Kennedy’s forever shielded assassination records.
Call it -Kennedy’s posthumous protection.
