Marked Man: Martin Luther King and the FBI

For years before Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, he was subjected to a campaign of intimidation by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Hoover believed King was a puppet of the Communists, intent on destroying America, and he was determined to neutralize the threat. This program reveals the depth of Hoover's vendetta against King and examines how and why he targeted the civil rights leader.
