1965 Poster Attacking Martin Luther King: Context & Purpose Explored

This 1965 poster presents a critical perspective on Martin Luther King Jr., a key civil rights figure. Contrary to its portrayal, the image depicts King at an integrated leadership training college in Tennessee, dissociating from allegations of communist affiliations. The producer and date of the source are pivotal in understanding its intent. The focus on King highlights his leadership role, while omitted context frames a critical narrative against the civil rights movement. Analyzing the poster reveals its aimed audience and underlying messages about racial integration and political resistance.
