Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was not always celebrated. At the height of the civil rights movement, federal authorities came to see his growing influence as a threat. Declassified records show the FBI wiretapped his home and hotel rooms and worked to frame him as a dangerous radical in order to weaken his credibility. Surveillance expanded as officials searched for anything that could be used to discredit him.

This video examines why a nonviolent preacher who helped secure voting rights was suddenly labeled a national danger once he began connecting racism, poverty, and militarism—what he called the “Triple Evils.” From his Riverside Church speech condemning the Vietnam War to his fight against Northern segregation in Chicago and the launch of the Poor People’s Campaign, we trace how confronting economic inequality and war fundamentally changed King’s relationship with American power. What followed was not celebration, but escalation.
