It amazes me how much people don’t know.
Ralph Abernathy (MLK’s right hand man) wrote in his autobiography that Dr. King was less than a saint.
Author Taylor Branch delved into as best he can, the FBI records on surveillance are locked up until 2027.
Branch got FBI techinicians to tell him what they heard on the audio tapes.
And what the FBI found out about the adultery got all the way to the top in 1963. Jackie Kennedy was audio interviewed after her husband’s death callin MLK a “phony” and saying he was arranging for “orgies” before the March on Washington in the summer of 63.
Dr. King was human and he made mistakes just like JFK and ultimately just like myself.

The story of his private life was being whispered around Washington courtesy of the FBI some 50 years ago this month.
The Kennedy Administration authorized the FBI spying and it continued into the Johnson Administration. CNN did a documentary a few years ago reporting on the tape that the FBI sent to MLK in 1964 that Mrs. King listened to of one of the adulterous encounters.
I THINK KING WAS SPIED ON BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS WANTED TO KEEP HIM IN LINE FOR THE 1964 ELECTION. A SUSPENSION OF CIVIL RIGHTS PROTESTS WAS ANNOUNCED IN JULY 1964 TO HELP LBJ’S ELECTION.
JFK and his administration tried to half the 1963 march on Washington. They also nixed plans to take the march to the White House.
King should have had his own spies out to check on LBJ. Lyndon had more women than a sultan, and this was not covered up very well. All he had to do was talk to some Texas Observer reporters to get the dirt he needed.
