    The Martin Luther King, Jr., FBI file [microform] / edited by David J. Garrow. Frederick, Md. : University Publications of America, c1984-<1986 > <25- > microfilm reels 35 mm. pt. 1. FBI file (16 reels) -- pt. 2. The King-Levison file (9 reels) Martin Luther King, Jr., FBI File MFM 1176 The 17,000 page file on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. compiled by headquarters officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, details the heavy surveillance that was directed against America's foremost civil rights leader throughout the 1960's. Through these declassified FBI documents researchers may follow the development of King's career and civil rights activities. Part I (without a special title) (16 reels) consists of hundreds of FBI memos, reports, and summaries of King's activities as well as his conversations with associates. Because the fruits of wiretaps placed by the FBI on King's own home, office, and hotel rooms are under court order that will keep them sealed at the National Archives until 2027, no verbatim transcripts of these wiretaps can be made public. However, Part II, "The King-Levison File", originates from wiretaps placed on the phones of Stanley Levison, a New York lawyer and businessman and King's trusted confidant with whom he spoke on an almost daily basis for more than six years. The transcripts and summaries in this section shed light not only on King's many civil rights activities and his involvement in related causes, but on his personal feelings toward and reactions to the events of the last six years of his life. Note should be taken of the "Correlation Summaries" which are lengthy inventories listing every FBI file reference to a specific individual, such as Dr. King, not contained in the main file on that person. Also, Reel 16 of Part I is a file of newspaper clippings, wire service stories, and other public source materials concerning King that FBI headquarters collected. This subfile provides an extensive sample of nationwide press coverage of King without having to search through scores of individual newspapers. Part of "Black Studies Research Sources" series. Format: Microfilm - Part I - 16 reels; Part II - 9 reels Access: Printed The Martin Luther King Jr., FBI File, 1984, and ... Part II: The King-Levison File, 1987, in MFM Guides
