Half of Americans suspect there’s a conspiracy around the assassination of MLK, a lot thinking the FBI was involved. We wanted to look into that — why the FBI was interested in MLK, what they were really doing with the intel they were illegally gathering, and what this all means for the legacy of both the FBI and of MLK.

Even the FBI thinks they did it.

Hoover was actually more powerful than the Potus. He served as the FBI director for almost 50 years. We have a huge problem with unelected bureaucrats to this day.

I am a proud Slav from Croatia, but when I hear Mr. King speak it moves my soul. The people who did this need to be brought to justice.

They obviously did it.

Would really like more videos about Hoover. He's probably the closest thing to a tyrant the USA has ever had and we're never taught about the way he tried to ruin the lives of his perceived enemies against the best interest of Americans. Man probably deserves his own video.

They got him to stop saying "Human rights" and started asking for "Civil Rights". Nobody wants civil rights. We want to recognized as human for starters.

Title 2 days ago: “How the FBI Was Involved in MLK’S Murder”
Title today: “Why People Think the FBI Killed MLK”
Me: Wow 😏

People will see this and say "omg this is crazy how could they do this" while they ignore the fact that these organizations still exist and are bigger than ever. These people are also pro big government and think their favorite politician isn't corrupt.

It’s crazy how many similarities MLK’s assassination has with JFK’s assassination, both random criminal lone gunman, who used a sniper at long range to take out the target. Both in the 1960’s. My guess is they were chosen and either threatened in some way (threatening to hurt family loved ones etc) or told that their family would be taken care of financially if they did so. RIP MLK & JFK

I imagine by 2027, AI-generated voices will be so good that the public will struggle with whether or not the audio from the declassified recordings are real

I think a lot of people in the comments are missing the point of the video. This is about the fact that, whether or not they were actually directly behind the person who pulled the trigger or not, we have actual proof that a significant branch of the US government has been directly involved in harrassing and threatening the life of a peaceful US citizen based on the fact that they disagreed with that citizen's ideals. Whether they directly pulled the trigger or not they hold responsibility for, at the very least, not only not having done their duty of trying to stop it but actually encouraging it. That is a huge stain on our democratic system.

His last speech has always given me chills. Its almost like he knew someone wanted to take him out and soon. Of course he knew his life was in danger, but the way he speaks in that speech sounds like he knew he wouldn't live past the week.
EDIT: Clearly he knew his life was in danger. What I am saying is that his speech sounds like he knew he would be shot within the next day or two. Obviously he didn't, no one knows that they'll be dead within the day. I am just saying its creepy with hindsight. FFS some of ya'll are so mad about my opinions....

“I have seen the promise land. I may not get there with you” that’s a real tear jerker given what happens just a few hours later

As a Vietnamese people, MLK has my full of respect because of his righteous view about VietNam war. Thanks you MLK and God bless you !

Everyone commenting about MLK's "disillusionment with the white moderate" in letters from the Birmingham jail is correct, but I also want to point out how incorrect Johnny is in saying that MLK was seen as being in the right during the Civil Rights Movement, around the 6 minute mark; Gallup polls clearly show that the general public had an unfavorable opinion of him. The last poll in his lifetime was 63% unfavorable. This video just doesn't reflect the historical reality of the situation.

you forgot to mention that mlk on his letter written from birmingham jail he expressed a grave disappointment toward the white moderate.
I quote:
"I must confess that over the last few years
I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great
stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate
who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace
which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods
of direct action"; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man's freedom"

It's crazy when they declassify a document but black out certain parts so you'll never know what was really going on

I'm a 70 year old American white man, a Native of Iowa. In 1989 I was living in Nashville. I've been a Baha'i for 40 years. I went on bus to Memphis full of fellow Baha'is to march in the annual Martin Luther King Parade. It was a huge event, hundreds of buses and thousands of marchers. I got separated from my group and was walking around looking for them. I walked for an hour or so and suddenly heard the music of a marching band coming down an alley. I ran to the end of the alley and thrre was the parade, and hear came my group. Two Baha'is were leading the group carrying a huge banner promoting Racial Harmony. The banner holder nearest me recognized my name tag and waved to me to help carry the banner, which I did. A block later
was a Network TV Camera. Friends across America told me later that they saw me on TV! It was an honor to march in this Parade
remembering Dr. King. Years later I made a pilgrimage to Memphis and said prayers on the spot Dr. King was Murdered.

You missed a really interesting point in his final speech about being on the mountain top, but not being able to make it to the holy land, he was comparing himself to Moses, who led the Israelites from bondage and suffering out to the desert(and according to the bible) God told him that as a result of his sins he would see it, but die before they made it, and he died on Mt. Nebo in full view of the holy land. Its as if he new his life was soon to be cut short, but his movement would be successful in making progress for Black Americans, both of which he called correctly.
