This might be the single best MLKJ Day post I've ever seen in my life.
Wait for it...
The FBI engaged in surveillance of King, attempted to discredit him, and used manipulation tactics to influence him to stop organizing. King's family believe the FBI was responsible for his death.
Bro, the FBI thought they could get away with a fluffy little Martin Luther King Day post without suffering the consequences.
NOT TODAY!
In case you didn't know this:
The FBI campaign against King began with wiretaps, but quickly ballooned. When wiretaps revealed that King was having extramarital affairs, the FBI shifted their focus to uncover all evidence of his infidelity by bugging and taping him in his hotel rooms and by paying informants to spy on him. Eventually, the FBI penned and sent King an anonymous letter, along with some of their tapes, suggesting that he should kill himself.
Man, I'd hate to be the FBI employee who put this tweet out.
Like, how do you not know?!?
