Unveiling History: FBI's Secret Surveillance of MLK Jr.

In a controversial move, the Trump administration has made public nearly 200,000 pages of FBI records concerning the surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr., despite objections from his family and civil rights advocates.

This release marks the culmination of a campaign promise by President Trump, echoing previous disclosures of files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy.

King's remaining children, Martin III and Bernice, have emphasized the sensitive nature of these documents, urging the public to view them in a comprehensive historical context.
