| | Marked Man: Martin Luther King, Jr. 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 documentary on WHYY reveals the depth of Hoover's vendetta against King and examines how and why he targeted the civil rights leader. It airs Monday, January 19 at 9:00 pm.
