Add comment in the FBI section regarding the FBI's actions against other integrationist and segregationist groups as described in Donner's "The Age of Surveillance". Possible there was a clandestine policy to suppress all "serious" racial agitation, integrationist and segregationist. Also, possible it was felt racial agitation could not be tolerated during the Cold War. It seems obvious there was animosity toward Dr. King on Hoover's part but there may be more to it than that.

Birth name not "Michael King Jr." but only "Michael King."
Per Jonathan Eig's 2023 book "King: a life" (ISBN 9780374279295) Martin Luther King Jr. was not born "Michael King Jr." On page 23, paragraph 5, Eig writes, "They named him Michael King, no middle name, no initial, no "Junior." They called him Little Mike."
Please consider updating all references of birth name "Michael King Jr." to simply "Michael King."

If you are given the same name as your father, you are Jr whether anyone says it or not.

I agree, that is likely what you will be called and referred to as, but as a simple matter of fact, Michael King Jr. was not his birth name. His birth name was Michael King. And as a web source interested primarily in facts, I believe it best to go with the factual record.

I agree with this. The "Michael King" thing is sketchy enough -- his father said it was a mistake by the doctor. Do we have other support for Eig's name information?
