T he Troubling Legacy of Martin Luther King, a controversial essay recently published by the American historian David Garrow in a conservative British magazine, has met with ambivalence in the American press and sparked fierce debate among historians. The document does not name the alleged rapist, but Garrow identifies him as the Rev Logan Kearse, a Baptist minister from Baltimore.

Government intelligence documents should always be treated with great care — particularly documents from an era when J Edgar Hoover and the FBI expressed open hostility toward the civil rights movement. You will find yourself and in all your dirt, filth, evil and moronic talk exposed on the record for all time. It strains credulity that government officials would have foregone such a rich opportunity to embarrass King and neutralize the civil rights movement. The records in question are scheduled to be unsealed in In the meantime, it is worth thinking about what lessons can be drawn from the larger historical debate.
The most obvious is the importance of responsibly using state sources, particularly those from law enforcement and intelligence agencies that may be actively involved in shaping the events they purport to represent. Another issue is how we understand and conceptualize history.
This interpretation of history is Janus-faced, however, because what can be constructed as great can just as easily be torn down. Finally, we would be remiss not to reflect on the power of language. It is incumbent on us as historians not only to be self-conscious about the sources we choose, but also of the ways in which we render their content. Topics Martin Luther King Opinion.
