WASHINGTON -- The FBI prepared a secret 20-page analysis of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. containing explosive allegations about King's political ties and sexual activity, just a month before he was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
One section of the document, which was among files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy released on Friday, alleges that King was attracted to former member of the Communist Party in America. It notes that two previous aides were party members and eight others, who helped shape King's organization in its early stages, had communist affiliations.
It's unclear whether the FBI verified any of the allegations contained in the document, which is dated March 12, 1968.
The analysis said that in the early 1960s, the Communist Party was trying to get a black labor coalition to further its goals in the United States. It referenced a May 1961 issue of a communist newspaper that stated, "Communists will do their utmost to strengthen and unite the Negro movement and ring it to the backing of the working people."
The FBI said King and his organization were "made-to-order" to achieve these objectives.
The FBI's surveillance of King is well-known and the analysis includes several pages about his sexual life. One document said a black minister who attended a workshop to train ministers in February 1968 in Miami "expressed his disgust with the behind-the-scene drinking, fornication and homosexuality that went on at the conference."
"Throughout the ensuing years and until this date, King has continued to carry on his sexual aberrations secretly while holding himself out to public view as a moral leader of religious conviction," the FBI report said. The report alleges King had extramarital affairs with a number of women and was suspected of fathering a daughter out of wedlock.

Think of this when you read stories about Black Lives Matter.
No but they will swear every word the FBI writes about Trump is gospel truth.
Maybe I missed something, but why was a report about King’s activities in Spring of 1968 in the JFK assassination record of a murder in November 1963?
My suspicion is that the media has always known about this. They are going to be angry because now everyone will know.
King, married at the time, liked to beat the prostitutes after having sex with them.
Do we get to tear down his statues for being a sexual predator?
The FBI is structurally incapable of being honest even when it tries.
There was plenty of evidence of MLKJr being Commie-influenced going back to the 50s but I’ve never seen anything that had him as a card-carrying CPUSA member.
Remove the monuments! Rename the streets! Yeah, that will fly.
WEB Du Bois,, co-founder of the NAACP was a communist. It shouldn’t come as a surprise MLKjr was too. MLK’s sex life was pretty well known.
I believe most blacks in the USA would support communism today. They’re propped up with quotas and so many anti-discrimination laws and still don’t compete well. They think they may want it but they don’t get it ... just like so many of the leftists out west.
(NIV) Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.Evil communists all.
My suspicion is that the media has always known about this.

That information has been out there for years. Maybe not documented but it has been known.
I will be glad when the MLKjr files are made public but ai don’t expect it while he’s got immediate family members still living.
I will add that MLK’s daughter is a Trump supporter and that MLK was a republican.
Would you please quit posting everything in Frontpage?
Gosh, I remember this being talked about back then, along with his many extra marital affairs. I’ve wondered about the new reputation his legacy has achieved. When you are in your late 70’s, it’s eerie seeing “history” being made when you were actually there and what is actually written about.
Vox has been hit in the current round of harassment claims. Maybe someone will compile what various people said during trumps pusygate..including halperin
Hoover had a hard on for king
So when do the maniacs tear down the MLK statues and change that January holiday to “Freedom Day”?
As a kid growing up in the south, I frequently herd these rumors about King’s association with communist. Still, we were sad we herd he was shot, and believed there was a coverup. Also he knew it was coming, especially if you herd his last speech.
Wrong metaphor. Hoover had a hard on for Clyde Tolson. He was hard over on King.
Back in the 1960’s when I was young, my parents told me this about MLK. No internet access to information, but they were nonetheless “aware”.
You are not alone...yet include this in this file unless the FBI was hiding their illegal surveillance.
