Martin Luther King Day Archives

The FBI surveillance tapes on Martin Luther Kingare sealed by court order until the year 2027, but VDARE.com's MLK archives are always online.

Helms, asked to vote in favor of a national holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, had asked to see the FBI's records, not only for the character-related material, (i.e. adultery) but for the record of what the FBI had found out about his political associates (i.e. Communism). That's the stuff that's still sealed until the year 2027.

If you are stuck at a computer, take some time to look at these.
