Unsealed FBI documents allege that Martin Luther King was present while a friend raped a woman.

 

The claims were unearthed by the civil rights leader's biographer David Garrow, who won a Pulitzer prize for his 1987 book Bearing the Cross.

 

The unsealed documents confirm the extent of government surveillance against Dr King, with recording devices concealed in hotel rooms he stayed in.

 

According to The Sunday Times, FBI surveillance documents also make a number of claims about Dr King's sexual behaviour, with one incident allegedly caught on tape at a hotel in Washington DC.

Looked on and laughed

 

FBI reports allege that Baptist pastor Logan Kearse invited several women back to his room with Dr King, where the pair were recorded discussing sex acts with the women.

 

An FBI document claims: “When one of the women protested that she did not approve, [Mr Kearse] immediately and forcibly raped her.”

 

It adds that Dr King "looked on, laughed and offered advice" during the ordeal.

 

Dr King, a Baptist minister who had a daughter with wife Coretta Scott King, was reportedly monitored engaging in sex acts with around 40 women, with the files claiming he was surveilled participating "in acts of degeneracy… [at] sex orgy."

On one occasion, the documents claim, Dr King coerced a woman into a sex act by claiming it "helps your soul."

 

Documents also suggest that Dr King may have secretly fathered a daughter outside marriage.

FBI threatened to expose 'adulterous acts'

 

FBI officials attempted to leverage the intelligence about Dr King's personal life, sending him an anonymous letter threatening to expose "your adulterous acts, your sexual orgies."

 

The letter suggested Dr King should commit suicide “before your filthy, abnormal, fraudulent self is bared to the nation."

Hours of surveillance tapes of Dr King still exist, according to Mr Garrow, but remain under seal in the US National Archives until 2027.

 

The biographer is set to publish his findings in June's Standpoint magazine.

 

He told The Sunday Times that the rape allegations "pose so fundamental a challenge to his historical stature as to require the most complete and extensive historical review possible."

 

Mr Garrow noted that if a rape took place, the FBI agents surveilling Dr King also made no attempt to stop it.

He said: "A lot of women will see this as one more historical maltreatment of black women, not only by black ministers. The FBI didn't give a hoot either."

The U.S. ditched the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while across the Atlantic, the U.K. is trying to extract itself from the European Union and its single market.

 

But while free trade is under threat in much of the world, African countries are heading in the other direction: the continent is on track to create the largest free trade agreement by population that the world has seen since the 1995 creation of the World Trade Organization. That organization has 164 member countries.

 

On May 30, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will become a reality. All but three of Africa’s 55 countries have signed up, creating a free trade area that covers more than a billion people and a collective GDP of over $2 trillion, and includes most of Africa’s largest economies, including South Africa and Egypt. If hold-outs Benin, Eritrea and Nigeria—Africa’s largest economy—join in, that’s a total of 1.2 billion people and $2.3 trillion in GDP.
