The National Archives & Records Service should release MLK's FBI Files
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), under its director, J.
Edgar Hoover, began tracking MLK in 1961. Its investigations were
merely superficial until 1962, when they discovered that MLK's most
trusted advisers were New York City lawyer Stanley Levison and Hunter
Pitts O'Dell were in the Communist Party, of the USA. Then-Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy authorized the FBI to place Wiretaps on
Levison and MLK's home and office phones, and to bug MLK's Motel Rooms
as he traveled around the country. FBI surveillance of MLK, some of it
since made public, demonstrates that he engaged in a wide variety of
extramarital ***ual affairs with white women and others. Accounts of
his misbehavior also have been well corroborated by many of MLK's
associates, including his close pal Rev. Ralph Abernathy who said King
spent his last night on earth engaged in an adulterous liaison with
several prostitutes. Some of the FBI re****ts regarding MLK's ***ual
affairs were obtained by the Kennedy's who leaked them to re****ters,
coalition partners, and funding sources of the SCLC, and King's
family.
Across from the Lorraine Motel, next to the rooming house in which
James Earl Ray was staying was a vacant Fire Station. The FBI
surveillance team assigned to observe MLK in his Lorraine Motel
second-floor room utilized the fire station as a make****ft base. Using
papered-over windows with peepholes cut into them, the agents were
watching the scene when MLK was shot on a balcony. Immediately
following the shooting, all six agents rushed out of the Fire Station
and were the first people to administer first aid to MLK. Their
presence leads many to speculate that the FBI was somehow involved in
his assassination. Hoover had referred to King as "the most notorious
liar in the country." Afterwards, the Bureau's investigation ****fted
away from MLK's *** life to intelligence and counterintelligence work
on the direction of the SCLC and the Black Power Movement.
In January 1977, King's widow Coretta, acting under the control of the
Southern Christian Leader****p Conference (SCLC), filed a lawsuit in
DC's District Court to purge the FBI's files of all recorded
audiotapes tapes, microphonic surveillance data and transcripts of
wiretapping of Martin Luther King, Jr. for the period from 1963
through 1968. Clarence M. Kelley, the head of the FBI was named as
defendant. Although her demand conflicted with the Freedom of
Information Act, the sympathetic District Court Judge John Lewis
Smith, Jr. ruled in favor of Coretta, and the FBI's records were
sealed and ****pped to the offices of the National Archives and Records
Service. He ordered all FBI files on MLK's activities to be concealed
from public access for a period of fifty (50) years until the year
2027.
Thirty-eight (38) years have past since MLK died and even his wife
Coretta is dead. Certainly, the Public's "Right to Know" under the
Freedom of Information Act, should now take precedence over a lower
court judge's unchallenged ruling to conceal im****tant historical
public do***ents. The United States honors only two men with Federal
Holidays bearing their names. In January, we have Martin Luther King
Day and he has become one of the most prominent names in American
History. Today his sup****ters often compare him with Abraham Lincoln
and claim both men were great role models. Its time to overrule
District Court Judge Smith's arbitrary and impulsive decision to hide
the facts surrounding the life and death of someone of his great
National Stature.
