Despised by J. Edgar Hoover, Dr. Martin Luther King was threatened, persecuted and hounded by the FBI as he tried to lead The Civil Rights Movement and speak out against the war in Vietnam.

Chafe, Professor of History and former Dean of the Faculty at Duke University about his new book Private Lives/Public Consequences, Personality and Politics in Modern America, in this episode of The Massachusetts School of Laws Books of our Time.

MLK preached peace with no guns -- Hoover not so much. Did King go to college -- the Bare Necessities according to Academic Supreme,Time Traveling Jay Edgar Hooves. Why do you think the Vietnam War draft offered college deferments? If the black gangbangers had no guns, all those corrupt cops would spiral out of control -- Mr. Hoover hated those uneducated cops. Go to college, then to graduate school, get a few Ph.D.'s like Julius Oppenheimer, then the cops can play God, Judge and Jury.
