Coretta Scott King
“There is abundant evidence of a major, high-level conspiracy in the assassination of my husband.” So declared Martin Luther King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, just after a jury found that her husband had been murdered in a conspiracy that included ‘governmental actors.’ This was in a 1999 civil suit that has largely been forgotten.
A Powerful Indictment of the Government and Establishment Forces Involvement in King’s Murder…
The series begins with a 58-minute Prologue that can be streamed on Amazon, Google Play, Apple TV, and other platforms. It is a powerful indictment of the government and establishment forces for not only King’s murder but also the assassinations of President Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Malcolm X.
Never-before-seen Interviews with Family Members, Acquaintances, and Important Witnesses
In addition to never-before-seen interviews with family members, acquaintances, and important witnesses, the documentary series FOUR DIED TRYING provides proof of this genuine plot. In addition to examining the compelling evidence of government participation in all four of these deaths, the series also looks at the motivations behind the murders of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, President John F. Kennedy, and his brother Robert F. Kennedy.
‘A Black Messiah’
The Prologue of FOUR DIED TRYING makes abundantly clear that King’s family members and close associates firmly believe that the FBI and other government actors murdered King because he had turned against the Vietnam War and was on the verge of bringing half a million people of all backgrounds to Washington to demand an end to poverty. In the film, King’s close associate, Reverend Clarence Jones, explains, “That’s the Martin Luther King that they feared would emerge as, quote, ‘A Black Messiah.’ When you get him talking about the United States as the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, the FBI must have freaked out.”
“Martin Luther King was not killed because he was trying to get people to sit at a lunch counter,” adds MLK’s son, Martin Luther King III. “He was talking about restructuring wealth and resources in the nation.”
FBI Memorandum to Do Whaterver it Takes to Stop King
“The number two person in the FBI wrote a memorandum: ‘Dr. King is the most dangerous Negro in America, and we have to do whatever we can to stop him.’” – Former King Associate Rev. Clarence Jones in FOUR DIED TRYING
The Story That’s Been Told is Not the Real Story
Martin Luther King’s daughter, Berniece King, declares in FOUR DIED TRYING that “There were a lot of forces involved… that it was a conspiracy. We’re not crazy…The story that’s been told is not the real story.”
While nephew Isaac Farris adds, “We never, from day one, believed that James Earl Ray alone killed my Uncle.”
The Jury in the 1999 civil “wrongful death” Lawsuit Concluded That King’s Murder Was the Result of a Conspiracy
In the 1999 civil “wrongful death” suit brought by the King family, the jury found King’s murder was a conspiracy, with James Earl Ray framed as a patsy. The long-forgotten suit was brought against Lloyd Jowers, who claimed he was paid $100,000 by mobster Frank Liberto to participate in the killing. Jowers ran a coffee shop near the Lorraine Motel where King was shot. Jowers named a Memphis police lieutenant as being involved in the murder. After the verdict, the U.S. Justice Department investigated but concluded that a conspiracy could not be verified.
After the verdict, King’s son, Dexter King, said, “So please, after today, we don’t want questions like, “Do you believe James Earl Ray killed your father? No, I don’t, and this is the end of it. Dexter emphasized that “the shooter was Memphis Police Department Officer, Lt. Earl Clark.”
A Fresh Perspective on Who Actually Had a Hand in Dr. King’s Assassination
