If Garrow wanted more publicity or money, he’d have already written a new book. He has done impeccable lengthy MLK research for years. Garrow could have very easily recycled his old stuff with this new information and a splashy new salacious title. Voila!
That is not what has happened here.
Unless he was paid to leak this to the press, IDK, possibly.
Garrow is himself super-slimy. When the Civil Rights stuff ceased to pay well, he reinvented himself as a great champion of abortion. Then he got caught assaulting a female staffer at Emory University and had to move on. Nobody I would trust for a minute.
