Testimony before the Church Committee Details FBI Plans to Intimidate Martin Luther King Jr. ca. 1975
Description
The Senate Church Committee, which met in 1975, investigated a series of abuses by members of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Testimony before the committee revealed that the FBI engaged in a prolonged attempt to discredit the work of Martin Luther King Jr. because it associated his work with communism. The agency, the committee discovered, engaged in such activities as warning prominent individuals not to meet with King, sending threatening letters to his home, and searching for evidence of activities that could embarrass him.
