Hey there, curious minds! Big news: over 230,000 pages of declassified documents on the assassination of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. have just been released. 📜
Announced by U.S. President Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on social media platform X, these files break a nearly 60-year silence, unveiling hidden details of the FBI's investigation. The documents include internal memos, discussions on potential leads, and revelations such as insights from James Earl Ray's former cellmate about an alleged assassination plot.
This dramatic move came after Trump signed an executive order on January 23, just three days into his term, declassifying remaining files related to the assassinations of MLK, former President John F. Kennedy, and his brother Robert F. Kennedy.
Martin Luther King Jr. remains a symbol of hope and the struggle for equality, celebrated for his commitment to nonviolent change and his inspiring "I Have a Dream" speech.
