Ralph Abernathy, a long-time associate of King, admitted that King was a serial adulterer and on at least one occasion beat up a prostitute he had hired. Abernathy wrote about this in his autobiography in 1989. Carl Rowan, the liberal black journalist, reported that members of Congress as early as 1964 had told him the FBI had tapes of King participating in orgies. Those tapes have been sealed for an unprecedented fifty years, and I expect that when those fifty years are up, Congress will seal them for another fifty.
