The FBI threatened Martin Luther King Jr. and urged him to kill himself in a racist letter that was uncovered recently by a researcher. In the letter, the unnamed author makes explicit allegations about King’s extramarital sex life and implies that he should commit suicide. It is known that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who ran the bureau for the majority of the 21st century, wanted to destroy King’s reputation. Redacted copies of the “suicide letter” have been available to the public for years, but this is the first time the original uncensored version has been revealed. We look at the racist letter, in this Lip News clip with Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill.
