August 12, 1993
Dear Editor,
Salt Lake City council's announcement that they are renaming the main
boulevard, 600 South, after Martin Luther King (Daily Herald, 8/11/93, p. B-3) is
yet one more example of the dangerous trend to make a hero out of one of America's most
vociferous traitors.
I am not expressing opinion; but fact; based on documented evidence
that Martin Luther King was vigorously promoted by the Soviet-financed CPUSA (Communist
Party of the USA) in order to foment a violent polarization of Americans along racial
lines (divide and conquer). The subsequent raising of Martin Luther to ever more elevated
hero status is only a follow-up of that initial motive. (I do not intend to address the
lie that Communism is "dead," other than to merely note that this particular
case is yet one more evidence that the subversion of our beloved country is ongoing and
alarmingly successful.)
Here is a sample of the documented evidence of which I speak. I am
referring to an essay by Evans-Raymond Pierre, a native black of New York City who earned
a degree in political science and history at the University of Vermont. In it he quotes
from a member (FBI plant) of the CPUSA who testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee
in 1979 that "the [communist] cells that I was associated with in Cleveland were
continually being asked to raise money for Martin Luther King's activities and to support
his movement.... While I was in the Communist Party, as a loyal American Negro, I knew
Martin Luther King to be closely connected with the Communist Party...."
Another example of M.L. King's Communist support and ties documented by
Pierre was his close association with Stanley David Levison, who "assisted King in
organization matters and political strategy, wrote some of his speeches, and advised in
hiring personnel to staff King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference." At the
time, Levison was "knowingly being used as a conduit for the Soviet funds" to
the CPUSA, and also "assisted in managing the secret party coffers."
'Yet one more example of calling evil, good. Let's see if we can't
convince the city council to reverse this decision.
Anyone desiring to peruse further evidence of M.L. King's close
connections with the CPUSA is invited to request free (if you order within a month)
reprints of Pierre's essay from The New American, P.O. Box 8040, Appleton, WI
54913. (January 13, 1986.)
Sincerely,
