I would have loved to shake the hand of Hoovers deputy who wrote this.
You filthy abnormal animal rsquo graphic contents of anonymous letter sent by FBI to Martin Luther King - Telegraph
For what...being failures...LOL!!!
It seems to have been a final desperate attempt to make use of the recordings, which had already been offered to several newspapers. To Hoover’s chagrin they refused to run the story.
In an article about her find in the New York Times Magazine, Prof Gage said: “One oddity of Hoover’s campaign against King is that it mostly flopped, and the FBI never succeeded in seriously damaging King’s public image.
“Half a century later, we look upon King as a model of moral courage and human dignity. Hoover, by contrast, has become almost universally reviled.
“In this context, perhaps the most surprising aspect of their story is not what the FBI attempted, but what it failed to do.”
