An anonymous letter sent to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in which he is called a ‘filthy abnormal animal’ and urged to kill himself has been made public for the first time in its unredacted form.
The letter, written in 1964 by an FBI deputy posing as a disillusioned civil rights activist, was an attempt by J Edgar Hoover to unsettle the civil rights leader just days before he received the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
A heavily censored version of the ‘suicide letter’ has been published before, but a Yale University historian recently unearthed an unredacted copy.
Beverly Gage was researching a book about Hoover in the National Archive when she accidentally came across the letter.
‘I was surprised to find a full, uncensored version of the letter tucked away in a reprocessed set of his official and confidential files at the National Archives,’ she told the New York Times.
The typewritten note, featuring misspellings and deliberately poor grammar, was written by an agent called William Sullivan.
It was accompanied by a cassette recording containing evidence of King’s now well documented extramarital liaisons, which the FBI had obtained by wiretapping his homes and hotel rooms.
