This month, as they have for almost 40 years, millions of Americans will celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The information contained in the memos won’t be confirmed until 2027. That’s when the FBI’s full audiotapes, photographs and film footage of King will be unsealed per a 1977 court order.
On the third Monday of the month, federal, state and local governments, institutions and various industries recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
