US-Regierung veröffentlicht FBI-Dokumente zu Martin Luther King
Das FBI spionierte Martin Luther King jahrelang aus, um ihn diskreditieren zu können. Nun sind Hunderttausende Seiten aus den Akten der US-Bundespolizei veröffentlicht worden - gegen den Willen der Kinder des Bürgerrechtlers.

The #Trump admin has released records of the FBI’s surveillance of #MartinLutherKing Jr., despite opposition from the slain Nobel laureate’s family & the #CivilRights group that he led until his 1968 assassination.
The release involves an estimated 200k pages of records that had been under a court-imposed seal since 1977, when the #FBI first gathered the records & turned them over to NARA.
…cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?” But conscience asks the question, “Is it right?”
—Martin Luther King, Sermon, June 5, 1966
#martinlutherking
In a speech titled “Beyond Vietnam” given…a year before his assassination, King called America the “greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” That quote doesn’t make it into many Martin Luther King Day celebrations.
—Chris Hedges, Death of the Liberal Class (2010)

Today in Labor History May 13, 1968: The Poor People’s Campaign raised Resurrection City, in Washington, D.C. The tent shanty town, part of the campaign to gain economic justice for poor people, existed for six weeks. The Poor People’s Campaign was originally organized by Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). However, Ralph Abernathy took over leadership after King’s assassination. It developed from the realization that civil rights gains had not improved material conditions for African Americans. However, the Poor People’s Campaign was a multiracial movement that included white, Asian Hispanic and Indigenous Americans. Some of the Campaign’s leaders included Chicano leaders Corky Gonzales and Reies Tijerina. Other participants included Appalachian miners. The FBI and military intelligence spied on the camp and wiretapped the campaign. Some of the spies posed as journalists, or as black militants.
Even if this leads to another topic, I had to think of M.L. King's last speech. He held it 57 years ago and said, among other things:
On April 3, 1968, Dr. King gave his last speech before being assassinated. Before this speech, a couple of years back, while he was at a book signing, a demented lady stabbed Dr. King with a letter opener. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where his life was saved. While recovering, he read many letters of support, but one stood out. A white 9th grader wrote a letter wishing him well. She told him she heard that if he had sneezed, he would have lost so much blood and died. She ended by saying, I'm so happy you didn't sneeze.
If I Had Sneezed (this is not the official title, but it is how I will always remember it) is the last speech Dr King gave before he was assassinated. He was assassinated the next day.
Here's the remainder of that speech:
And I want to say tonight - I want to say tonight that I too am happy that I didn't sneeze because if I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1960, when students all over the South started sitting-in at lunch counters. And I knew that, as they were sitting in, they were really standing up for the best in the American dream and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1961, when we decided to take a ride for freedom and ended segregation and interstate travel.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1962, when Negroes in Albany, Georgia, decided to straighten their backs up. And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.
If I had sneezed - if I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been here in 1963. Black people of Birmingham, Alabama aroused the conscience of this nation and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year, in August, to try to tell America about a dream that I had had. If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been down in Selma, Alabama to see the great movement there.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm so happy that I didn't sneeze.

I've often heard #Republicans trying to claim #CivilRights icon #MartinLutherKing/#MLK as one of their own... citing "Negroes" fleeing Deep South anti-Civil Rights Dixiecrats.
At the same time #JFK & #LBJ were advancing Civil Rights, #Republicans started courting the Deep South over to their side where they remain to this day.
MLK Jr famously warned against voting for Barry Goldwater and endorsed Kennedy:
