Washington Post - A newly released FBI analysis from 1968 paints a grim picture of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.: A “wholehearted” communist who had fathered a child during an extramarital affair.
The 20-page document, dated March 12, three weeks before King was assassinated in Memphis, is included in the latest trove of government files about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, which the National Archives released Friday. It alleges that King’s political ideologies and the creation of his civil rights organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, were heavily influenced by communists, specifically the Communist Party USA...
David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian who has written extensively about King, said much of the explosive allegations in the document are neither new nor true.
