Every Freeper that was alive back then knew it, apparently the right people didn't care.
The real shame is that all the politicians lead such lives that they are blackmail-able.
It is only slightly better than the lucille ball statue.
Same way she always has. She knew all this because J.Edger mailed her a copy of the tape.
Conscientious professors are wise to them, know where they are, and how to check student submissions for cheating. The catch is, few professors are honest enough to give a sh*t and weather the storm of denials and threats from mendacious, busted “students.”
Watch Marilyn sing Happy Birthday and decide for yourself.

Just like Obama had his IL political opponents records ‘unsealed’, so should King’s be wide open. They were not sealed for reasons of national security in 1977. 40+years is long enough, Enquiring minds deserve to know the truth.

>>>Garrow said last week he had spent several months digging through a King-related “document dump” on the National Archives website. He found 54,000 web links “on a spreadsheet the size of the Atlantic”, some of them leading to electronic copies of documents that were 500 pages long.
He will always be remembered as one of the greatest orators in history, a winner of the Nobel peace prize whose “I have a dream” speech proved a defining moment of the American civil rights movement. Yet the reputation and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr may be facing what one of his biographers has described as a “painful historical reckoning” after shocking new revelations about the Baptist clergyman’s relationships with women.
A huge archive of documents recently released from FBI files exposes in detail King’s extramarital sexual activities with dozens of women as he travelled the country campaigning against racial inequality.

Details of the assault are captured on tapes that are currently being held in a vault under court seal at the US National Archives. The incident is described in FBI summaries unearthed by David Garrow, an American historian who won a Pulitzer prize in 1987 for Bearing the Cross, his biography of King published the previous year.....
Garrow said last week he had spent several months digging through a King-related “document dump” on the National Archives website. He found 54,000 web links “on a spreadsheet the size of the Atlantic”, some of them leading to electronic copies of documents that were 500 pages long.
Garrow discussed what he then knew of King’s reckless sexual adventuring, but he treated his subject as a broadly inspirational figure. “I’ve always been very positive about his selflessness, humility and spiritual gravity,” Garrow said.
Yet the author admitted he had no idea of the scale or the ugliness of King’s philandering until he saw the FBI files. “I always thought there were 10-12 other women,” he said. “Not 40-45.” He now believes that in the #MeToo age of revulsion for sexual harassment and assault, evidence of King’s indifference to rape “poses so fundamental a challenge to his historical stature as to require the most complete and extensive historical review possible”.[snip]
The FBI’s persistent surveillance of King initially arose from concern that his most influential advisers, Stanley Levison, was with the Communist Party. Robert Kennedy, reluctantly approved a wiretapping operation... Hoover became convinced that King’s sexual excesses had made him vulnerable to communist blackmail. While the broader outlines of King’s sexual behaviour have been known for some time —— Garrow has uncovered startling new details about King’s voyeuristic tendencies, his arguments with his wife, and existence of an illegitimate daughter.

King’s most loyal supporters have often dismissed criticism of his private behaviour as racially motivated attempts to denigrate his reputation and damage his legacy. Yet the evidence appears inescapable. FBI material on King includes hours of surveillance recordings that were sealed by court order for 50 years in January 1977. Significant volumes of documents have already been made available; the most damning tapes may finally appear in 2027.[snip]
FreeRepuplic January 2007.
During the 1964 campaign, Martin Luther King gave the following endorsement:
I have no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that did not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.
In that election, Barry Goldwater received 6% of the black vote. In the previous two presidential elections, GOP candidates Richard Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower received 32% and 39% respectively.
Since King’s endorsement, no Republican candidate has received more than 15% of the black vote in a national election.
The communists definitely got their money’s worth out of Dr. King.

Questions abound regarding MLK. How did he get by with so much for so long?
He was a complete academic fraud, cheated his way through college and seminary school. His doctoral thesis in theology -plagiarized. Then he poached other preachers’ sermons from the pulpit! Constant Plagiarism well documented by 1990.
He lived the life of a traveling porn-star whilst parading as a preacher-activist.
