'Suicide notes' written and sent by FBI to MLK
The The New Yorks writes
"When the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. received this letter, nearly 50 years ago, he quietly informed friends that someone wanted him to kill himself — and he thought he knew who that someone was. Despite its half-baked prose, self-conscious amateurism and other attempts at misdirection, King was certain the letter had come from the F.B.I. Its infamous director, J. Edgar Hoover, made no secret of his desire to see King discredited. A little more than a decade later, the Senate’s Church Committee on intelligence overreach confirmed King’s suspicion. "
When one thinks of what FBI Hoover carried out during the turbulent years in United States under the disguise of protecting the country, it is mindbogglingly that he went unchecked and really used his office to abuse defenseless black people.
Why? Because of their skin colors
