In a taped conversation between Jackie Kennedy & Arthur Schlesinger in 1964, Jackie accurately described MLKjr as a “phony” and “terrible man.” IIRC, some government source (FBI?) had let her listen to recordings of MLK mocking JFK’s death & funeral, as well as MLK engaged in his other deplorable behavior.
The real MLKjr, the “phony” and “terrible man,” has been lost to history. No one cares. He’s been replaced by a fictional MLKjr who was a saintly man, martyred for the cause of civil rights.

That would have been Bill Moyers, LBJ’s press secretary, followed by a PBS career. Robert Novak said that Moyers had been letting people listen to tapes from FBI wiretaps.
