Garrow said, "he had no idea of the scale or the ugliness of it and his apparent indifference to rape until he saw the files."
In addition, I have discovered that much of what King has written and his speeches have proven to have been plagiarized. This has been known and formally documented, yet not acknowledged the past 25 years.
And his Civil Rights organization was deeply entrenched with the CPUSA.

Thomas Jackson, American Renaissance, April 1994
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Plagiarism Story, Theodore Pappas (Ed.), The Rockford Institute, 1994, 107 pp.
Late in 1987, a graduate student working on the project to publish the collected papers of Martin Luther King discovered that King had plagiarized huge parts of his doctoral dissertation. Clayborne Carson, the director of the project, decided to suppress this fact, thus setting in motion one of the most sordid tales of academic dishonesty and race-based special pleading in recent memory.
This book is an invaluable collection of several accounts of what King did and of the contemptible coverups and justifications that followed. Not surprisingly, its editor, Theodore Pappas, could not find a commercial publisher, so the book is unlikely to be in book stores or even in libraries. Only if enough people buy and read it will its story survive the whitewash.
Starting Early
It is now clear that King began plagiarizing as a young man and continued to do so throughout his career. At Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania, where he received a bachelor’s degree in 1951, his papers were stuffed with unacknowledged material lifted verbatim from published sources. The King papers project has dutifully collected this juvenilia, and Mr. Pappas explains how it strikes the reader today:
King’s plagiarisms are easy to detect because their style rises above the level of his pedestrian student prose. In general, if the sentences are eloquent, witty, insightful, or pithy, or contain allusions, analogies, metaphors, or similes, it is safe to assume that the section has been purloined.
Mr. Pappas notes that in one paper King wrote at Crozer, 20 out of a total of 24 paragraphs show “verbatim theft.....
#MLK Too?
Tear down the statues
You have to ask the question “Why did the FBI release it NOW after sitting on it for 50 years?”
What are they trying to distract us from?
Don’t think that negates his key role in ending segregation by his activism and oratory. It was not necessary that a myth of superior character needed to follow but it was almost inevitable.
What are they trying to distract us from?
____________
the coup they were involeved with.
And to tar us with the brush of Trump spreading lies about MLK.
The MLK statue doesn’t belong in the Capitol to start with. I hope it is removed.
Statues, school names, the holiday, and street names. As the left is fond of saying, “this is not who we are.”
Agree. There needs to be a motive. Somebody ask Stacey Abrams what she thinks of all this. I feel a narrative coming from Fake News.
Is this timely release possibly intended to distract from, oh I don’t know, some people who did something?
Why would you think the FBI released it?
It’s release had been scheduled long ago, Reagan sealed much up at the request of Mrs. King. Last year dozens of pages were comingled with the JFK document drop that Trump released.
“Tear down the statues.”
How about simply rename the streets?
I withhold judgment until proven but will say from some of his past exploits, it wouldn’t surprise me terribly.
How then would we know what parts of Democrat run cities to avoid???
Tear down the statues.”
How about simply rename the streets?
~~~~~~
How about BOTH??
“Tear down the statues”
The worse problem would be if they had to rename to streets. I mean every city has 2 roads guaranteed, Main St and MLK Blvd. LOL
Garrow has interviewed over 700 MLK associates over the years and written extensively about King. He gained access privately due to ‘his status’ and came across summarizes of the tapes scheduled to be released in 2027.
He was mortified and needs to rewrite his books about King.
Maybe there’s more to it. Freeper LS assured me that Garrow is a highly well respected historian and author.
There used to be an app for that.
