| - | In November 1975 William Sullivan, former Assistant Director, Domestic Intelligence Division of the FBI testified before a Senate Select Committee to tell them about the "no holds barred" war J. Edgar Hoover had waged on Mr. King. They had detailed records from as early as late 1963 of Hoover's attempt to discredit him and attempts to replace King as the leader he had become. Hoover called it "neutralizing" King. Sullivan's announcement created a determination by the government and the public to review all documents and ensure that the FBI had in no way participated in, either directly or indirectly, in the assination, known it was going to occur or create an atmosphere that encourage an assassination. This site hasover 16,000 photocopied pages of the FBI documents used in the investigation. As a document presented it is indexed with page numbers for access. Excellent primary source and fascinating historical reading.
