Abernathy, Ralph

Description

Civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy testifies before the House Select Committee on Assassinations about threats against Martin Luther King Jr. and the FBI's knowledge of the violence. Abernathy answers questions from Representative Harold Ford (D-TN) and Representative Louis Stokes (D-OH). He says nothing was done about several of the threats because of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's dislike for the civil rights movement.
