Um, she’s still alive. Someone ask her.
Yes, anyone who cares could go ask her.
But FWIW, in my younger days, I attended a conference which included speakers Rosa Parks and Ralph Abernathy. I made it a point of going up to the stage to talk with them both.
Everybody knows Rosa Parks now, less so then. Some say she was a willing tool who sought out MLK. Word from her own lips was that she was just tired and fed up that day and her refusal to give up her seat just came about spontaneously. I believe she was telling the truth.
Ralph Abernathy (who was REALLY MLK's right hand man, not Jesse Jackson who just happened to be there to make the claim the night King was shot on a Memphis hotel balcony) was more candid. Abernathy loved MLK but said one of King's personal weaknesses was that he just couldn't get enough intercourse from the ladies.
It was Abernathy's job to protect King from scandal, a job which grew increasingly difficult as King's celebrity status grew. Abernathy said that most of King's close confidants thought he would most likely be shot by some random jealous husband or boyfriend, not a nobody like James Earl Ray. Some of them believe Ray was just a patsy set up to close the case and the real killer was someone else. Abernathy leaned toward this theory as well.
