As we celebrate Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Day, let us look at some of the things he said challenging capitalism and the social order which may be left out of some history books and corporate media coverage.

Question 15) To whom did the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., write the following: 

"I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness."

Answer) the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., - Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952 during their courtship. 

Question 16) To whom did Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr write the following:

 "We have come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. The poor are too often dismissed from our conscience today by being branded as inferior and incompetent."

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952 during their courtship.

Question 17) Who said: "In a sense, you could say we're involved in the class struggle."

Answer) Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Slain Civil Rights Leader to New York Times reporter José Igelsias, 1968. 

Question 18) Who said: "And one day we must ask the question, 'Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.' When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…"

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. 

Question 19) Who said: "Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children."

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.s', speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961. 

Question 19) Who said: "We must recognize that we can't solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can't really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order."

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.s', report to SCLC Staff, May 1967. 

Question 20) Who said: "The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism."

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.s', speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Board, March 30, 1967. 

Question 21) Who wrote: "…The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty."

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.s', book Where do We Go from Here?, published 1967. 

Question 22) Who said: "You can't talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can't talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You're really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism."

Answer) Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.s', speech to his staff, 1966. 

Question 23) Who edited the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.s', book Stride Toward Freedom?

 

Answer) Communist Stanley Levison. He often was a ghostwriter for Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Although Jewish and Communist (active at least up to 1962) he was a key member of the Southern CHRISTIAN Leadership Conference (SCLC) where disbelief in Christ was no impediment. 

 

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/16/magazine/what-an-uncensored-letter-to-mlk-reveals.html?_r=2&referrer 

 

The SCLC official web site states: "At its first convention in Montgomery in August 1957, the Southern Leadership Conference adopted the current name, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Basic decisions made by the founders at these early meeting included the adoption of nonviolent mass action as the cornerstone of strategy, the affiliation of local community organizations with SCLC across the South, and a determination to make the SCLC movement open to all, regardless of race, religion, or background."

But the name CHRISTIAN was thought useful.

 

Question 24) Who made the following speech? 

 

"That's exactly what we mean--from every mountain side, let freedom ring. Not only from the Green Mountains and White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire; not only from the Catskills of New York; but from the Ozarks in Arkansas, from Stone Mountain in Georgia, from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia--let it ring not only for the minorities of the United States, but for the disinherited of all the earth–may the Republican party, under God, from every mountainside, LET FREEDOM RING!" 

Answer) Sound familiar? Archibald Carey, Jr., spoke these words at the 1952 Republican National Convention. Carey and the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., knew each other and corresponded.

Answer) Written by Martin Luther King, Jr., while studying at Crozer Theological Seminary.

Question 30) Who said: "I just can't see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man's terrible,"

 

Answer) Jacqueline Kennedy.

 

Question 31) Who said:

 

"Mr. Abernathy and King were many things to each other - colleagues in the black church, cellmates, strategists, co-conspirators for justice - but at the personal level, they were best friends. But in friendships in which one person greatly outshines the other, a curious mixture of love, envy and competition can sometimes lead to a lingering, often unspoken resentment. Mr. Abernathy's reasons for providing a detailed description of his friend's last evening and early morning - during which King had sexual encounters with two women and a confrontation with a third close woman companion - can be known only to him. It is sadly ironic that the disclosures will almost surely do more damage to Mr. Abernathy himself than to the reputation of King." 

 

Answer) Henry Hampton, producer of the PBS documentary "Eyes on the Prize," in a review in The New York Times.

Question 32) Who said about stories about the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.,'s sexual misconduct: "The man has been dead for 50 years. I don't know why anybody would write a story like this. I have been hearing these rumors, even when Martin was alive, but I never saw anything, and I have never found anybody who said they saw something personally, or they heard something personally."

Answer) Former Ambassador and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young. Apparently, he never spoke to Rev. Ralph David Abernathy or read his book.

 

Question 33) Who stated that the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., fathered a baby girl with "the wife of a prominent Negro dentist in Los Angeles, California…."?

 

Answer) A report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation dated March 12, 1968 carried this information "from a very responsible Los Angeles individual in a position to know."  

Question 34) Stanley Levison, in February, 1962, passed the word to Gus Hall, General Secretary, CPUSA, "King is a whole-hearted Marxist who has studied it (Marxism), believes in it and agrees with it, but because of his being minister of religion, does not dare to espouse it publicly.

 

Answer) From the Federal Bureau of Investigation report dated March 12, 1968.

 

Question 35) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sent the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., a letter which apparently also included a tape of one of his sexual escapades.  Here is an excerpt:

"Listen to yourself you filthy, abnormal animal. You are on the record. You have been on the record — all your adulterous acts, your sexual orgies extending far into the past. This one is but a tiny sample. You will understand this. Yes, from your various evil playmates on the east coast to [redacted] and others on the west coast and outside the country you are on the record. King, you are done." 

 

The corporate media states that the letter was intended to make the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., commit suicide.  What was the information which could have caused him to commit suicide?

 

Answer) Guess we will have to wait until the complete FBI files are released in 2027 - if they ever are. President Kamala Devi Harris may have something to say about that.

 

Question 36) Have these issues troubled the establishment the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and slain Civil Rights Leader Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., worshipers?

 

Answer) What do you think? Why?
