In 1981, Garrow published a book about King and the FBI, chronicling many of the tactics the FBI used to surveil and attack King. In June 2010 I finally scanned in several dozen remaining book chapters and biographical dictionary entries written in years past, so that now this site is 100% complete, excluding only items that have been directly reprinted from one or another of my books.

Welcome to Dave Garrow’s web page. Sullivan later suggested Hoover was behind the letter. He wrote the book Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (1986), which won the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. This was the idea and initiative of my wife, Darleen Opfer, and I was rather slow to appreciate the possible value and utility of putting all of my past non-book publications up on the web at one comprehensive site. However, the details in this… We should at least allow the possibility that the accusations are true. Not at all. When in 1990, Stanford University’s Clayborne Carson and other scholars at the King Papers Project found that King had committed plagiarism in his doctoral dissertation and other works, they felt obliged to divulge it—even though, as one editor on the project said, he suffered “many hours of lost sleep.” That the revelations in this case turned out to be scandalous warrants, as Garrow argues, intensified efforts to confirm or rebut their veracity. But with a long-dead historical figure, the hesitancy is more surprising. The files claiming King was communist “are coming literally third- or fourth-hand from a human informant,” he said, so their accuracy is “highly dubious.”. News of his philandering has been common knowledge since at least the 1975 Church Committee hearings into the dubious actions of the U.S. intelligence agencies. King’s greatness is such that he has weathered these disclosures. When David J. Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of the Rev. [8], In 1987, Garrow was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. For one thing, King himself isn’t said to have assaulted women (although “offering advice”—whatever that might mean—to a friend committing a rape certainly comes close). Garrow said a “painful historical reckoning” was “inevitable” given what he’d learned about King’s behavior. Please accept Echovita’s sincere condolences. Now Martin Luther King Jr. is in the spotlight.

Even if the ugliest charges against King are bolstered by additional evidence, that doesn’t mean we should talk about renaming Martin Luther King Day, tearing down statues of him, or stripping him of his Nobel Prize. MLK’s name change: How Michael King Jr. became Martin Luther King Jr. ‘You are done’: A secret letter to Martin Luther King Jr. sheds light on the FBI’s malice. The Daily Mail followed, catching the attention of conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, who tweeted that King was “quite a sicko.” D’Souza, whose claims about civil rights are frequently debunked by historians on Twitter, was interviewed Tuesday night by Fox News host Laura Ingraham and said the #MeToo movement had to “take it seriously.”, No, Dinesh D’Souza, that photo isn’t the KKK marching to the Democratic National Convention.

The King Center in Atlanta declined to comment on Garrow’s essay.

The magazine’s overwrought editorial undermines Garrow’s patient work. Also, summaries aren’t recordings; it’s hard even to imagine how audio recordings could offer dispositive proof that a rape did or didn’t happen.

“But with the electronic surveillance records, those are very highly reliable, other than when the FBI can’t understand who’s talking,” Garrow said.

They can’t be checked against the original surveillance tapes, which remain sealed, according to a judge’s order, until 2027. It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish.
