On April 3, 1968, an American Airlines flight from Atlanta to Memphis was stuck at the departure gate. The pilot made a general passenger announcement that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was on board and that the airline had received a bomb threat. For everyone's safety, they would have to delay their takeoff until all the baggage had been examined.
The More Than Nine Lives of Martin Luther King Jr.
For Dr. King, the April 3 bomb threat was just one more warning. In the thousands of pages of files the FBI collected on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. there are dozens, if not hundreds, of reported threats against Dr. King's life. Almost all were similar to the plane threat: menacing but harmless. They came mostly by phone, often to newspapers, often anonymously. When law enforcement could trace these threats to their source, they often led to drunks and mentally disturbed individuals. Yet in some cases, such as the January 1956 bombing of Dr. King's home in the midst of the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott, the attempts were far from innocuous. Indeed, from the time of that first bombing until his assassination in 1968, law enforcement investigated serious threats against King, some foiled only by the vagaries of chance. In one sense, these ongoing public threats simply constituted a constant level of "noise"; Dr. King had no choice but to live with them if he wanted to continue his mission.
When asked a question about when he had personally been most frightened, King replied that it had been during a visit to Mississippi. His visit was not only to mourn the victims of the Mississippi Burning murders but also to bring public scrutiny and pressure on law enforcement to pursue justice in what history now calls the Mississippi Burning killings, the brutal slayings of three young civil rights workers. King offered a prayer in which he had said, "O Lord, the killers of those boys may even be within the range of my voice." At that moment, he overheard a big burly sheriff standing near him say, "You're damn right they are."
At the time Dr. King had no way of knowing that the individuals who had killed the young civil rights organizers were associated with the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Mississippi and that the order for their murders had come from its leader, Samuel Holloway Bowers. King had no idea that Sam Bowers had himself targeted King for murder and that Bowers was part of a network that had incited and planned attacks on King over a period of years. King also did not know that a local Mississippi sheriff 's deputy would eventually be one of those convicted in the murders of Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney—the three young men for whom King had prayed. As we shall see, King's visits to Mississippi, to bring national attention to these murders and to the 1963 assassination of his National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) colleague Medgar Evers, brought King into the crosshairs of committed radicals.
The nature of the radical network that was targeting Dr. King was more national in scope and more united in purpose than has been previously thought.

I am America's most censored person, and cyberstalkers often insert codes into my articles to make them open after the introductory paragraphs on certain cell phones. This is a racist attack, because minorities remain behind the technology curb and often lack computers. For that reason, minorities and poor whites rely more on cell phones for their web browsing than other people. Therefore, the introductory information that the system wishes to keep from blacks and whites who lack wealth is hidden by having online articles open after initial statements on cellphone view. I know more about Internet censorship American style than any other person in America. Therefore, I wrote an article exposing methods of Internet censorship in the USA to help activists, religious institutions, and human rights organizations recognize when they are censored online. See "Internet Censorship American Style by Mary Neal at this link http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/internet-censorship-how-they-do-it.html . The article is in my Exposed: Free Speak Blog. The only people who know more about the oppressors' censorship methods than Mary Neal are members of the nation's cybercensorship force whose job it is to apply censorship methods to certain news reports and target certain truth tellers with particularity. You see part of their methods on this screen. My four(4) links on this article should all be blue. They code them to be gray to fade into the text. I colored one link red below, but the people hired to work on my articles 24/7 while I am online may Change it.
