His friend and biographer Ralph David Abernathy, among others, have confirmed he was prone to extramarital dalliances. Most, if not all of books about him address it. It's hardly a big deal, and usually isn't treated as such. Most powerful men screw around, it is what it is.

School dining hall is serving fried chicken, collared greens and watermelon. Not even fucking around.

Do me a favour, no they're not! :lol:
I know it could be see as in character for me to make a joke like this, but I'm not joking. It's my first year teaching here. The kids told me it would happen and I didn't believe them. Then I saw it for myself. And then another faculty member told me they do it every year. Seriously, WTF?

MLK had lots of affairs. The FBI investigated them - it was something they had on him as they were out to crucify him.

Actually I would like a link?

Hoover did investigate him, you are correct on that - but for the most part, HE DIDN'T find anything.

Having concluded that King was dangerous due to communist infiltration, the FBI shifted to attempting to discredit King through revelations regarding his private life. FBI surveillance of King, some of it since made public, attempted to demonstrate that he also engaged in numerous extramarital affairs.%5B201%5D Lyndon Johnson once said that King was a "hypocritical preacher".%5B213%5D

Ralph Abernathy stated in his 1989 autobiography And the Walls Came Tumbling Down that King had a "weakness for women", although they "all understood and believed in the biblical prohibition against sex outside of marriage. It was just that he had a particularly difficult time with that temptation".%5B214%5D In a later interview, Abernathy said that he only wrote the term "womanizing", that he did not specifically say King had extramarital sex and that the infidelities King had were emotional rather than sexual.%5B215%5D Abernathy criticized the media for sensationalizing the statements he wrote about King's affairs,%5B215%5D such as the allegation that he admitted in his book that King had a sexual affair the night before he was assassinated.%5B215%5D In his original wording, Abertnathy had claimed he saw King coming out of his room with a lady when he awoke the next morning and later claimed that "he may have been in there discussing and debating and trying to get her to go along with the movement, I don't know."%5B215%5D

In his 1986 book Bearing the Cross, David Garrow wrote about a number of extramarital affairs, including one woman King saw almost daily. According to Garrow, "that relationship ... increasingly became the emotional centerpiece of King's life, but it did not eliminate the incidental couplings ... of King's travels." He alleged that King explained his extramarital affairs as "a form of anxiety reduction". Garrow asserted that King's supposed promiscuity caused him "painful and at times overwhelming guilt".%5B216%5D King's wife Coretta appeared to have accepted his affairs with equanimity, saying once that "all that other business just doesn't have a place in the very high level relationship we enjoyed."%5B217%5D Shortly after Bearing the Cross was released, civil rights author Howell Raines gave the book a positive review but opined that Garrow's allegations about King's sex life were "sensational" and stated that Garrow was "amassing facts rather than analyzing them".%5B218%5D

The FBI distributed reports regarding such affairs to the executive branch, friendly reporters, potential coalition partners and funding sources of the SCLC, and King's family.%5B219%5D The Bureau also sent anonymous letters to King threatening to reveal information if he did not cease his civil rights work.%5B220%5D One anonymous letter sent to King just before he received the Nobel Peace Prize read, in part,

The American public, the church organizations that have been helping—Protestants, Catholics and Jews will know you for what you are—an evil beast. So will others who have backed you. You are done. King, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do (this exact number has been selected for a specific reason, it has definite practical significant [sic]). You are done. There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy fraudulent self is bared to the nation.%5B221%5D

A tape recording of several of King's extramarital liaisons, excerpted from FBI wiretaps, accompanied the letter.%5B222%5D King interpreted this package as an attempt to drive him to suicide,%5B223%5D although William Sullivan, head of the Domestic Intelligence Division at the time, argued that it may have only been intended to "convince Dr. King to resign from the SCLC".%5B195%5D King refused to give in to the FBI's threats.%5B201%5D

Judge John Lewis Smith, Jr. in 1977 ordered that all known copies of the recorded audiotapes and written transcripts resulting from the FBI's electronic surveillance of King between 1963 and 1968 to be held in the National Archives and sealed from public access until 2027.%5B224%5D
