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.
