Martin Luther King Jr. in FBI counterintelligence records

What the King figure hub lists

The figure slug martin-luther-king-jr groups indexed titles that name Martin Luther King Jr. The packet supplies no document count, so this page does not invent one. The public-record identity in the blurb is: subject of sustained FBI counterintelligence operations from 1962 until his assassination in April 1968, with records released under Executive Order 14176 documenting airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports.

Airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports are the three document classes named in the blurb. The packet does not say how many of each class appear in the name index. This overlay does not invent those splits. A title match is a catalog hit, not a finding that every page of the scan is a wiretap transcript.

April 1968 is the assassination month in the packet. The blurb does not give a day of month or a city on this figure packet. This page therefore does not add them from outside the facts. The 1962 start of the operations window is the other bound the blurb supplies.

Executive Order 14176 and the 1962–1968 window

Records released under Executive Order 14176 are the disclosure label in the blurb. This page cites that order as the named release authority for the airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports described there. It does not interpret the order’s policy. It does not claim that every King-titled row on the hub was posted solely under that order, because the packet does not say that.

From 1962 until April 1968 is the operations window the blurb gives for sustained FBI counterintelligence. That window is not a document count. Researchers who need the scans should open the originating archive from the figure hub. BlackVaultDocs matches names in titles from public NARA releases; it does not re-host the PDFs.

How name matching works for King

Figure hubs match names in document titles from public NARA releases indexed on BlackVaultDocs. The King hub is that match, not a complete FBI file and not a complete FOIA log. A missing title hit means the indexed title in this ingest did not match the name as implemented.

The all-figures directory lists other people in the same name index. The related topic href on this packet is the JFK assassination collection, which is the internal link the packet supplies. The blurb itself is about FBI counterintelligence records and Executive Order 14176, not about a JFK posting year.

What this page does not claim

This overlay does not adjudicate the FBI’s surveillance of Dr. King and does not treat the files as a finding on his assassination. It restates the packet: sustained FBI counterintelligence operations from 1962 until assassination in April 1968; records released under Executive Order 14176 documenting airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports. Conspiracy commentary is outside the index.

No NARA ID is in the facts. No document total is in the facts. Cite 1962, April 1968, Executive Order 14176, and the three named document classes. Do not attach an invented file count to Dr. King’s name.

Where to read King-titled files

The Martin Luther King Jr. figure hub is the live title list. All figures shows the rest of the name index. The JFK assassination collection href is the related topic link on this packet. Open the originating archive for scans. A later ingest can retag titles; this prose still will not invent a document count.

Airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports are three classes, not three counts. A title that names Dr. King may be any of those classes or another type the packet does not list. Open the originating archive for the scan.

How to cite Dr. King on this site

Cite Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the subject of sustained FBI counterintelligence operations from 1962 until his assassination in April 1968, with records released under Executive Order 14176 documenting airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports, as matched by name in indexed titles on BlackVaultDocs. Do not cite a document count from this guide. Do not treat the figure hub as a verdict on the surveillance or on the assassination. The source note is that figure hubs match names in document titles from public NARA releases indexed on BlackVaultDocs.

Cite 1962 and April 1968 as the operations window. Cite Executive Order 14176 as the disclosure label in the blurb. Cite the three document classes as named. Do not attach a file total to Dr. King’s name from this guide.

Questions

What FBI records on Martin Luther King Jr. does this hub describe?

The packet states that Dr. King was the subject of sustained FBI counterintelligence operations from 1962 until his assassination in April 1968. Records released under Executive Order 14176 document airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports. BlackVaultDocs matches the name in indexed titles. This page does not assign a file count.

What years cover the FBI counterintelligence operations on Dr. King?

The blurb gives a window from 1962 until his assassination in April 1968. Those are the bounds this page cites. The packet does not give a document count for that window. Titles that name Martin Luther King Jr. appear on the figure hub; PDFs remain on the originating archive.

What is Executive Order 14176 in the King files?

The blurb says records released under Executive Order 14176 document airtels, wiretap transcripts, and field-office reports. This page cites the order as that disclosure label. It does not interpret the order’s policy or invent a count of files posted under it.

Does the King figure hub prove a conspiracy in his assassination?

No. The hub matches the name Martin Luther King Jr. in document titles from public NARA releases indexed on BlackVaultDocs. It restates the 1962–April 1968 FBI counterintelligence window and the EO 14176 document classes. It does not interpret those files as proof of a plot.
