🚨🇺🇸MLK FILES: FBI WARNED OF “NATIONWIDE MILITANT RESURGENCE” AFTER MLK’S MURDER

An October 1968 FBI situation report outlined fears of growing militancy in the months after Dr. King’s assassination -  including coordinated Black student protests, military base unrest, and “extreme” organizing in high schools.

The Bureau linked MLK’s death to what it called a “nationwide resurgence of militant activity,” especially among young people, and flagged increased coordination between Black Power groups and antiwar organizers on campuses.

Agents monitored planned demonstrations during Huey Newton’s trial, underground GI organizing at Fort Jackson, and “anti-draft week” stunts on college campuses like picketing ROTC offices and staging mock arrests.

FBI field offices reported protest plans in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and even Okinawa - all seen as threats to “internal security.”
