Remembering and honoring the revolutionary humanitarian Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was murdered by a hateful white racist 57 years ago today (April 4, 1968). Despite how much his words are sanitized and co-opted to advance its white-supremacist-rooted agenda, Dr. King was despised, surveilled, criminalized, harassed and imprisoned by U.S. Government agents and operatives.
Images and information reposted from @gather4justice & @new_plaza_cinema We invite you to a special Revolutionary Reels screening of the documentary film MLK/FBI on Friday, April 4th at 6 PM at New Plaza Cinema [Macaulay Honors College] in NYC—marking the 57th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination.
