It occurs in no publicly available transcript, film or audio recording. It's a claim only made by the white power types, or people unknowingly sourcing from the Klan, et. al. Pretty much it's used by racists to discredit a legit civil rights figure.Jose Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688454434303787206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-25208527547091912382012-07-12T15:20:11.585-04:002012-07-12T15:20:11.585-04:00No, it's in David Garrow's _The FBI and Ma...No, it's in David Garrow's _The FBI and Martin Luther King_, which should be available at any large library.Jess Curtainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-30826578446660451832012-07-10T13:54:10.838-04:002012-07-10T13:54:10.838-04:00That claim and that quote seem to originate on whi...That claim and that quote seem to originate on white power websites. and not from any reputable source.Jose Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688454434303787206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13401748.post-26352475338607260622012-07-09T23:56:29.823-04:002012-07-09T23:56:29.823-04:00Well, King did privately describe himself as a Mar...Well, King did privately describe himself as a Marxist.
