"content": "\u003cp>A year ago, the official Twitter account of the Federal Bureau of Investigation tweeted, “Today, the FBI honors the life and work of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” It was accompanied by a photo of the FBI Academy’s reflecting pool, where a quote from King is etched in stone: “The time is always right to do what is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wasn’t \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FBI/status/849321344592470018\">the first time\u003c/a> the FBI sent out a statement honoring the slain civil rights leader on the holiday that bears his name, and the responses to the ostensible hypocrisy of it all were no less colorful than they had been in previous years: expletive-filled kiss-offs, angry memes and links or screenshots from articles detailing the agency’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/16/magazine/what-an-uncensored-letter-to-mlk-reveals.html\">notoriously relentless surveillance of King\u003c/a> in the final years of his life. Few took the FBI’s “honor” seriously, because why would they? In the 1960s, the organization, led by its director J. Edgar Hoover, made active attempts to dismantle King’s work and influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is neither new nor little-known information, but that doesn’t render Sam Pollard’s documentary “MLK/FBI,” now streaming on demand, less essential. Working with recently declassified documents from the National Archives, which reveal a deeper sense as to the extent and insidiousness of the agency’s surveillance, the film aims to restore dimensions to the now-flattened image of King, who today is often reduced to iconography and erroneously viewed by many as having been a noncontroversial figure during his lifetime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And like Ava DuVernay’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/12/27/373465623/for-hollywood-selma-is-a-new-kind-of-civil-rights-story\">Selma\u003c/a>,” a dramatization with similar aims, it succeeds: Pollard and his team – which includes writers Benjamin Hedin (also the producer) and Laura Tomaselli (also the editor), as well as archival producer Brian Becker – craft an immersive historical play-by-play of how and why King became a target for Hoover and his cohort, placing the activist firmly in context within the era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/BFI/status/1348932738968035328\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with various scholars, former FBI officials like James Comey, and King’s close friends and confidants play out primarily in voice-over (we see no talking heads until the film’s final minutes), which allows the filmmakers to be creative in their visual storytelling. In addition to Becker’s uncovering of rare news clips and footage of King with his family, an effective narrative choice is in the frequent use of excerpts from movies like\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCkjDRhk1-E\"> “I Was a Communist for the FBI”\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMl1fmMkrp8\">“The FBI Story”\u003c/a>. Beverly Gage, author of “G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the American Century,” tracks the making of the myth of the FBI as a heroic, moral institution, one driven in large part by the plethora of pro-FBI content in media and entertainment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As “MLK/FBI” explains, it’s King’s association with Stanley Levison, a progressive lawyer and businessman with Communist Party ties, that initially caught the attention of Hoover. But it was his growing impact on the international stage (the Nobel Peace Prize award in 1964; the “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963), as well as the discovery of his extramarital affairs, which kicked the FBI’s espionage of King into high gear, manifesting into a years-long obsession. The filmmakers don’t shy away from the more unsavory details – including a potentially unreliable FBI document suggesting King was present during the sexual assault of a woman by another man – instead engaging with them head on, as interviewees make the strong case for viewing the investigation as one driven by the deeply ingrained perception of black men as inherent sexual deviants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recurring themes arise. On a federal judge’s order, the surveillance tapes of King are sealed in the National Archives until at least 2027, and ethical questions are posed about whether dissecting these details are yet another invasion of King’s privacy. There are cautions against taking the content of the documents at face value, because of the inherent racial biases and at-times dubious methods of their authors. And of course, there’s the concern over King’s legacy and how it might crack under revelations that seemingly contradict his near-deified memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are valid issues worth wrestling with. But Pollard and his collaborators seem to know and trust that there is more to be gained from this exercise than lost. And as Clarence Jones, a speechwriter for King, puts it, “Does [the truth of his romantic dalliances] make him in my mind less of an historic civil rights leader? No, it does not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an engagement with one of the most recognizable figures of the 20th century has been long overdue. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pence-twists-mlk-legacy-black-lives-matter-1021596/\">common schtick\u003c/a> among those decrying Black Lives Matter “rioters” is to compare the activists and their supporters unfavorably to King and the civil rights movement. The modern-day tactics for protest and activism – say, taking a knee or calling for the removal of Confederate monuments – are the “wrong way” and are only sowing further division, they suggest, while King knew how to demonstrate “right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They willfully ignore the facts of the FBI’s insidious infiltration of King’s inner circle, and the marking of him at one point as “the most dangerous Negro” in the country by one of the agency’s top officials. They evade the truth of his outspokenness against United States involvement in the Vietnam War at a time when it was politically dangerous to take such a position, leading even more people to turn against him toward the end. At one point in the documentary, Gage cites a public opinion poll taken after Hoover and King engaged in a public spat – 50% of respondents at the time sided with Hoover, and only 15-20% agreed with King. These reactions, and many more, all directed at the man (and movement) who advocated for many of the same things BLM is pushing for today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King’s legacy is complicated, but certainly not undone, by “MLK/FBI.” That’s a good thing; the more we see him as an extraordinary but flawed human being, the easier it is to envision a path forward.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>A year ago, the official Twitter account of the Federal Bureau of Investigation tweeted, “Today, the FBI honors the life and work of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” It was accompanied by a photo of the FBI Academy’s reflecting pool, where a quote from King is etched in stone: “The time is always right to do what is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wasn’t \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FBI/status/849321344592470018\">the first time\u003c/a> the FBI sent out a statement honoring the slain civil rights leader on the holiday that bears his name, and the responses to the ostensible hypocrisy of it all were no less colorful than they had been in previous years: expletive-filled kiss-offs, angry memes and links or screenshots from articles detailing the agency’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/16/magazine/what-an-uncensored-letter-to-mlk-reveals.html\">notoriously relentless surveillance of King\u003c/a> in the final years of his life. Few took the FBI’s “honor” seriously, because why would they? In the 1960s, the organization, led by its director J. Edgar Hoover, made active attempts to dismantle King’s work and influence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is neither new nor little-known information, but that doesn’t render Sam Pollard’s documentary “MLK/FBI,” now streaming on demand, less essential. Working with recently declassified documents from the National Archives, which reveal a deeper sense as to the extent and insidiousness of the agency’s surveillance, the film aims to restore dimensions to the now-flattened image of King, who today is often reduced to iconography and erroneously viewed by many as having been a noncontroversial figure during his lifetime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And like Ava DuVernay’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/12/27/373465623/for-hollywood-selma-is-a-new-kind-of-civil-rights-story\">Selma\u003c/a>,” a dramatization with similar aims, it succeeds: Pollard and his team – which includes writers Benjamin Hedin (also the producer) and Laura Tomaselli (also the editor), as well as archival producer Brian Becker – craft an immersive historical play-by-play of how and why King became a target for Hoover and his cohort, placing the activist firmly in context within the era.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In addition to Becker’s uncovering of rare news clips and footage of King with his family, an effective narrative choice is in the frequent use of excerpts from movies like\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCkjDRhk1-E\"> “I Was a Communist for the FBI”\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMl1fmMkrp8\">“The FBI Story”\u003c/a>. Beverly Gage, author of “G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the American Century,” tracks the making of the myth of the FBI as a heroic, moral institution, one driven in large part by the plethora of pro-FBI content in media and entertainment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As “MLK/FBI” explains, it’s King’s association with Stanley Levison, a progressive lawyer and businessman with Communist Party ties, that initially caught the attention of Hoover. But it was his growing impact on the international stage (the Nobel Peace Prize award in 1964; the “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963), as well as the discovery of his extramarital affairs, which kicked the FBI’s espionage of King into high gear, manifesting into a years-long obsession. The filmmakers don’t shy away from the more unsavory details – including a potentially unreliable FBI document suggesting King was present during the sexual assault of a woman by another man – instead engaging with them head on, as interviewees make the strong case for viewing the investigation as one driven by the deeply ingrained perception of black men as inherent sexual deviants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recurring themes arise. On a federal judge’s order, the surveillance tapes of King are sealed in the National Archives until at least 2027, and ethical questions are posed about whether dissecting these details are yet another invasion of King’s privacy. There are cautions against taking the content of the documents at face value, because of the inherent racial biases and at-times dubious methods of their authors. And of course, there’s the concern over King’s legacy and how it might crack under revelations that seemingly contradict his near-deified memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are valid issues worth wrestling with. But Pollard and his collaborators seem to know and trust that there is more to be gained from this exercise than lost. And as Clarence Jones, a speechwriter for King, puts it, “Does [the truth of his romantic dalliances] make him in my mind less of an historic civil rights leader? No, it does not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an engagement with one of the most recognizable figures of the 20th century has been long overdue. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pence-twists-mlk-legacy-black-lives-matter-1021596/\">common schtick\u003c/a> among those decrying Black Lives Matter “rioters” is to compare the activists and their supporters unfavorably to King and the civil rights movement. The modern-day tactics for protest and activism – say, taking a knee or calling for the removal of Confederate monuments – are the “wrong way” and are only sowing further division, they suggest, while King knew how to demonstrate “right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They willfully ignore the facts of the FBI’s insidious infiltration of King’s inner circle, and the marking of him at one point as “the most dangerous Negro” in the country by one of the agency’s top officials. They evade the truth of his outspokenness against United States involvement in the Vietnam War at a time when it was politically dangerous to take such a position, leading even more people to turn against him toward the end. At one point in the documentary, Gage cites a public opinion poll taken after Hoover and King engaged in a public spat – 50% of respondents at the time sided with Hoover, and only 15-20% agreed with King. These reactions, and many more, all directed at the man (and movement) who advocated for many of the same things BLM is pushing for today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 1965, a century after America’s formal system of chattel slavery ended, Lewis was still fighting for freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response was a violent attack by state troopers. Tear gas and police batons filled the air, the sound of skulls — of Lewis’ skull — cracking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The horrific images of that day were beamed into living rooms across the country, creating a groundswell of public and political support for the movement, leading to the passage of the \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/voting-rights-act-1965\">Voting Rights Act of 1965.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, the country was again galvanized by police violence against Black people. We watched George Floyd die in front of us across an agonizing span of almost nine minutes, his neck pinned beneath the knee of a white police officer. We watched \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/31/us/police-tactics-floyd-protests.html\">police beat\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/us/detroit-police-shooting-journalists.html\">shoot\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/14/nyregion/nypd-george-floyd-protests.html\">even drive their cars\u003c/a> into protesters and journalists. The crowds being beaten and injured by law enforcement were much more multiracial than they had been over half a century before, but they were also \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/us/police-violence-george-floyd.html\">stark reminders of systemic racism\u003c/a> in the use of police force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is something potent that when Lewis died on July 17, it was in the middle of another civil rights movement. The fact that his lifelong calls for justice, for an end to police violence, and for voting rights are still necessary shows how America’s founding promise of freedom is also our unfinished business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lewis never stopped believing in the power of people to one day finish the job. He even left behind a comic book — the three-part graphic novel memoir \u003cem>March\u003c/em> — to share his story with the next generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To promote the book, Lewis went full fanboy, showing up at San Diego’s Comic-Con \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/us/politics/john-lewis-comic-con.html\">multiple times\u003c/a>. Lewis \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2015/07/13/the-real-origin-story-behind-how-rep-john-lewis-became-the-hit-of-comic-con/\">even cosplayed himself\u003c/a> — recreating his famous march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in the halls of San Diego’s convention center. He replicated his outfit, scouring thrift stores to find a trench coat that matched the one he had worn 50 years before and filling a vintage backpack with fruit, water and books. This time it wasn’t 600 protesters, but a group of school children who took his hands and followed his lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did a sitting U.S. congressman and iconic civil rights leader end up becoming a best-selling graphic novelist and Comic-Con’s favorite cosplayer? As you might expect, there’s an origin story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of staffers on Lewis’ 2008 reelection campaign were sitting around, talking about summer plans, including Andrew Aydin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unashamed, I said I would be going to a comic book convention. And there was a little teasing, but Congressman Lewis stood up for me,” Aydin recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis said, “I just said, ‘You shouldn’t laugh. At another time in another period there was a comic book called \u003cem>The Montgomery Story\u003c/em> ― Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery story — that inspired me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1958, at 18 years old, having just arrived at college, Lewis stumbled upon a comic book that played a role in his rapid evolution into a civil rights leader. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.crmvet.org/docs/ms_for_comic.pdf\">16-page long comic\u003c/a> tells the story of Rosa Parks’ symbolic refusal, and it also gives a detailed account of how to practice nonviolent resistance. It was a lesson Lewis took to heart when he staged sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Nashville in the late ’50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was on February the 13th, and we had the very first sit-in here,” Lewis said in a 1960 NBC documentary. “I took my seat at the counter. I asked the waiter for a hamburger and a Coke.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis’ staffer, Aydin, knew the history but he hadn’t known about the old comic book. Aydin became convinced Lewis should tell his story as a graphic novel. But Lewis wasn’t so sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought he was somewhat out of his mind. Why would I be writing a comic book?” Lewis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then he thought back: “I do remember reading \u003cem>The Montgomery Story\u003c/em> comic book, and I said, ‘Yes, if you would do it with me.’ And it’s been a labor of love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That labor brought Lewis, alongside co-writer Aydin and the book’s artist, Nate Powell, to Comic-Con in San Diego to launch the first book in 2013. While the geek and supernatural mecca known for its outlandish costumes may seem like an odd location for a sitting congressman, almost immediately Lewis fit right in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waiting in line for Lewis’ signature, right next to a guy in an elaborate transformers costume, was Mary Clark, a teacher at San Elijo Middle School in San Marcos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will go into my library collection,” Clark said. “As a graphic novel, sometimes students who aren’t really enthusiastic readers will pick it up thinking it’s about the pictures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, graphic novels like this can be the history equivalent of hiding healthy Brussels sprouts in a fussy eater’s mac and cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis was always adamant that \u003cem>March\u003c/em> was more than just biography. Like the Martin Luther King Jr. comic book that inspired him, the trilogy was always meant to be a primer on protest and what it means to march for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the third book in the \u003cem>March\u003c/em> trilogy won a National Book Award. Lewis, with Aydin and Powell beside him, gave \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqmYNOPVyO4\">a powerful speech\u003c/a>. Through tears, he recalled that when he was 16 years old, he tried to get a card from his local library. There were few books at home, and he wanted to read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were told the library was for whites only, and not for coloreds,” Lewis said. It is a meaningful reminder of the distance we have traveled since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Martin Luther King Jr. Day earlier that same year, a group of Black Lives Matter protesters gathered on the Bay Bridge between Oakland and San Francisco. For hours they \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/19/black-lives-matter-protesters-block-san-franciscos-bay-bridge\">blocked five lanes of traffic on the westbound span\u003c/a>. They were dressed to the nines in their Sunday best, donning suits and fedoras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They dressed like that, they said, to replicate and echo the marchers on another bridge, on another day, in another chapter of this fight. Their outfits were a direct nod to Lewis’ march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a meaningful reminder that we are still a bridge too far from the justice Lewis fought for, which is perhaps why he left an instruction book, in the form of a graphic novel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember hearing Martin Luther King Jr. preach from time to time,” Lewis said. “And his father would be in the pulpit. And he would say, ‘Son, make it plain, make it plain.’ So, between Nate and Andrew, they made it plain.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The fact that his lifelong calls for justice, for an end to police violence, and for voting rights are still necessary shows how America’s founding promise of freedom is also our unfinished business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lewis never stopped believing in the power of people to one day finish the job. He even left behind a comic book — the three-part graphic novel memoir \u003cem>March\u003c/em> — to share his story with the next generation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To promote the book, Lewis went full fanboy, showing up at San Diego’s Comic-Con \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/us/politics/john-lewis-comic-con.html\">multiple times\u003c/a>. Lewis \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2015/07/13/the-real-origin-story-behind-how-rep-john-lewis-became-the-hit-of-comic-con/\">even cosplayed himself\u003c/a> — recreating his famous march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in the halls of San Diego’s convention center. He replicated his outfit, scouring thrift stores to find a trench coat that matched the one he had worn 50 years before and filling a vintage backpack with fruit, water and books. This time it wasn’t 600 protesters, but a group of school children who took his hands and followed his lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did a sitting U.S. congressman and iconic civil rights leader end up becoming a best-selling graphic novelist and Comic-Con’s favorite cosplayer? As you might expect, there’s an origin story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of staffers on Lewis’ 2008 reelection campaign were sitting around, talking about summer plans, including Andrew Aydin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unashamed, I said I would be going to a comic book convention. And there was a little teasing, but Congressman Lewis stood up for me,” Aydin recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis said, “I just said, ‘You shouldn’t laugh. At another time in another period there was a comic book called \u003cem>The Montgomery Story\u003c/em> ― Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery story — that inspired me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1958, at 18 years old, having just arrived at college, Lewis stumbled upon a comic book that played a role in his rapid evolution into a civil rights leader. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.crmvet.org/docs/ms_for_comic.pdf\">16-page long comic\u003c/a> tells the story of Rosa Parks’ symbolic refusal, and it also gives a detailed account of how to practice nonviolent resistance. It was a lesson Lewis took to heart when he staged sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Nashville in the late ’50s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was on February the 13th, and we had the very first sit-in here,” Lewis said in a 1960 NBC documentary. “I took my seat at the counter. I asked the waiter for a hamburger and a Coke.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis’ staffer, Aydin, knew the history but he hadn’t known about the old comic book. Aydin became convinced Lewis should tell his story as a graphic novel. But Lewis wasn’t so sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought he was somewhat out of his mind. Why would I be writing a comic book?” Lewis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then he thought back: “I do remember reading \u003cem>The Montgomery Story\u003c/em> comic book, and I said, ‘Yes, if you would do it with me.’ And it’s been a labor of love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That labor brought Lewis, alongside co-writer Aydin and the book’s artist, Nate Powell, to Comic-Con in San Diego to launch the first book in 2013. While the geek and supernatural mecca known for its outlandish costumes may seem like an odd location for a sitting congressman, almost immediately Lewis fit right in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waiting in line for Lewis’ signature, right next to a guy in an elaborate transformers costume, was Mary Clark, a teacher at San Elijo Middle School in San Marcos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will go into my library collection,” Clark said. “As a graphic novel, sometimes students who aren’t really enthusiastic readers will pick it up thinking it’s about the pictures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, graphic novels like this can be the history equivalent of hiding healthy Brussels sprouts in a fussy eater’s mac and cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis was always adamant that \u003cem>March\u003c/em> was more than just biography. Like the Martin Luther King Jr. comic book that inspired him, the trilogy was always meant to be a primer on protest and what it means to march for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the third book in the \u003cem>March\u003c/em> trilogy won a National Book Award. Lewis, with Aydin and Powell beside him, gave \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqmYNOPVyO4\">a powerful speech\u003c/a>. Through tears, he recalled that when he was 16 years old, he tried to get a card from his local library. There were few books at home, and he wanted to read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were told the library was for whites only, and not for coloreds,” Lewis said. It is a meaningful reminder of the distance we have traveled since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Martin Luther King Jr. Day earlier that same year, a group of Black Lives Matter protesters gathered on the Bay Bridge between Oakland and San Francisco. For hours they \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/19/black-lives-matter-protesters-block-san-franciscos-bay-bridge\">blocked five lanes of traffic on the westbound span\u003c/a>. They were dressed to the nines in their Sunday best, donning suits and fedoras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They dressed like that, they said, to replicate and echo the marchers on another bridge, on another day, in another chapter of this fight. Their outfits were a direct nod to Lewis’ march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is a meaningful reminder that we are still a bridge too far from the justice Lewis fought for, which is perhaps why he left an instruction book, in the form of a graphic novel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/about-papers-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">King Papers Project\u003c/a> has produced seven \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/publications/king-papers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volumes\u003c/a>, and Carson has edited four additional books on King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said King was always a social gospel minister, concerned with human rights as much as civil rights. \"He felt that basic citizenship rights were essential, but not sufficient,\" said Carson. \"Education, health care, employment: Those are basic concerns of most people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King's visits to \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/231146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC Berkeley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so8kSH8IwIA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco\u003c/a> are well known but less so his 1967 talk at Stanford, entitled \"The Other America.” His speech focused primarily on the evils of systemic racism and economic inequality. \"Millions of young people grow up in the sunlight of opportunity, but tragically and unfortunately there is another America,\" said King. \"This other America has a daily ugliness about it that constantly transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair,\" he told a rapt audience of students and faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYK9xGALPrU]While the Vietnam War was not the main subject of this speech, he had been talking about the conflict in \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/beyond-vietnam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">others\u003c/a> across the county, and the long-time progressive could not help but turn to it again as he neared the end of his remarks. “I submit, if we spend $35 billion a year to fight an ill-considered war in Vietnam and $20 billion to put a man on the moon, our nation can spend billions of dollars to put God's children on their own two feet right here on earth,\" said King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said King saw the Vietnam War as a costly distraction, both in terms of human lives and resources that could have been devoted to President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs. \"When we look back, I think King thought that was the great mistake of the 1960s, not focusing on these kinds of issues that are still troubling us now,\" Carson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King also showed up to support others protesting the Vietnam War, including local folk singer \u003ca href=\"http://www.joanbaez.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joan Baez\u003c/a>. She was a vocal critic of the war and the draft, and she was arrested with dozens of others in 1967 for blocking the entrance to an armed forces induction center in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King went to visit her in jail and made a few extemporaneous remarks to a crowd of her supporters outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, when you go to jail for a righteous cause, you can accept the inconveniences of jail with a kind of innocence of calm and an inner sense of peace,\" said King. \"I want to make it very clear that I'm going to continue with all of my might, with all of my energy, and with all of my action, to oppose that abominable evil unjust war in Vietnam.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhru_jN8M4E]King added: \"People ask me from time to time, aren’t you getting out of your field? Aren’t you supposed to be working in civil rights? They go on to say the two issues ought not to be mixed. My only answer is I have been working too long and too hard now to end up at this stage of my life segregating my moral concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He would go on mixing his moral concerns until he was assassinated a few months later in Memphis, Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/about-papers-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">King Papers Project\u003c/a> has produced seven \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/publications/king-papers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volumes\u003c/a>, and Carson has edited four additional books on King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carson said King was always a social gospel minister, concerned with human rights as much as civil rights. \"He felt that basic citizenship rights were essential, but not sufficient,\" said Carson. \"Education, health care, employment: Those are basic concerns of most people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King's visits to \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/231146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC Berkeley\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so8kSH8IwIA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco\u003c/a> are well known but less so his 1967 talk at Stanford, entitled \"The Other America.” His speech focused primarily on the evils of systemic racism and economic inequality. \"Millions of young people grow up in the sunlight of opportunity, but tragically and unfortunately there is another America,\" said King. \"This other America has a daily ugliness about it that constantly transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair,\" he told a rapt audience of students and faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She was a vocal critic of the war and the draft, and she was arrested with dozens of others in 1967 for blocking the entrance to an armed forces induction center in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King went to visit her in jail and made a few extemporaneous remarks to a crowd of her supporters outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, when you go to jail for a righteous cause, you can accept the inconveniences of jail with a kind of innocence of calm and an inner sense of peace,\" said King. \"I want to make it very clear that I'm going to continue with all of my might, with all of my energy, and with all of my action, to oppose that abominable evil unjust war in Vietnam.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Hhru_jN8M4E'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Hhru_jN8M4E'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>King added: \"People ask me from time to time, aren’t you getting out of your field?
