Why King Center Ejected National Park Service
|
|
By Dennis Speed
|
|
[*New Federalist*, January 9, 1995]
|
|
|
|
ATLANTA, Dec. 28 (EIRNS) -- Dexter King, son of the Rev. Dr.
|
|
Martin Luther King and the new chairman and chief executive
|
|
officer of the King Center for Non-Violent Social Change, today
|
|
announced that the National Parks Service, previously employed as
|
|
tour guides, has been ejected from the King Center. This action
|
|
comes as a result of the ongoing dispute between civil rights
|
|
activists, including the King family, and the Park Service, which
|
|
has announced its intention to build an $11 million Visitors
|
|
Center in time for the Olympics, on the site of what the Center
|
|
intended to be the location of a museum dedicated to the slain
|
|
civil rights leader.
|
|
|
|
Initially, Coretta King and others had actually lobbied for the
|
|
Parks Service involvement in a project in King's honor and
|
|
memory. "The NPS (National Park Service) was invited into this
|
|
(historic) district by my mother, Coretta Scott King, to be a
|
|
tour guide of the King birth home... serving in a support role of
|
|
the King Center's programs, mission, and purpose. They began as a
|
|
tour guide, but in their dark ambition they have become
|
|
landlords. I don't expect any of my beloved neighbors to see
|
|
this, because I am ashamed to admit that my family did not see it
|
|
until it was too late," said Dexter King.
|
|
|
|
-+- The NPS and the Klan -+-
|
|
|
|
Readers of New Federalist newspaper will not be surprised at the
|
|
nefarious role attributed by Dexter King to the National Park
|
|
Service. In 1993, spokesmen for the NPS, including Gary Scott,
|
|
chief historian for the Washington, D.C. District, opposed the
|
|
removal of the statue of Ku Klux Klan founder Albert Pike from
|
|
Judiciary Square. Scott contended that "there was no evidence
|
|
that proved" Pike was a Klansman -- despite evidence gleaned from
|
|
members of Pike's family and other Klansmen proving that indeed
|
|
he was.
|
|
|
|
The same Gary Scott has also written a book praising the Kappa
|
|
Alpha Society, the official campus recruiting group of the Klan.
|
|
J. Edgar Hoover, the late director of the FBI and a chief
|
|
opponent of Martin Luther King, was the head of his chapter of
|
|
the Kappa Alpha fraternity at George Washington University.
|
|
Further, recent revelations in the King assassination,
|
|
particularly in Memphis [CN -- suppressed by U.S. media],
|
|
implicate the FBI in a coverup of the actual story behind the
|
|
King murder.
|
|
|
|
-+- Why Is NPS Worried? -+-
|
|
|
|
If the King Center were left free to present a non-doctored,
|
|
uncensored view of the civil rights movement, undefined by the
|
|
federal government, that view must directly affect every nation
|
|
in the world whose nationals attended the 1996 Olympics [in
|
|
Atlanta]. With over 100,000 visitors a day expected during the
|
|
height of the Olympics, and over 2 billion people expected to
|
|
watch some portion of the proceedings, an independent
|
|
representation of the facts concerning the King legacy, and the
|
|
assassination, would, from the standpoint of interested parties
|
|
in the Park Service, need to be controlled -- especially if the
|
|
former FBI director, a Kappa Alpha "brother," is implicated in
|
|
the murder.
|
|
|
|
To the end of effecting control, the King family has been
|
|
attacked in the pages of the Atlanta Constitution [newspaper] as
|
|
"profiteers" who are seeking to "exploit" King's legacy, as
|
|
opposed to the "disinterested" National Park Service -- whose
|
|
chief historian in Washington [CN -- recently fired] happens to
|
|
be a defender of the founder of the Ku Klux Klan. The Dec. 23 New
|
|
York Times reported that Coretta King stated, "It seems that the
|
|
same evil forces that killed Martin Luther King are now trying to
|
|
destroy his family."
|
|
|
|
Andrew Young, co-chairman of the Atlanta Committee for the
|
|
Olympic Games, former mayor of Atlanta, U.S. ambassador to the
|
|
United Nations, and an aide to King in the civil rights movement,
|
|
contended: "In the case of the Parks Department and the King
|
|
family, so far the King family has been excluded from full
|
|
partnership... The King family has to control the planning and
|
|
vision of the project." Young, however, correctly notes that
|
|
"this should not be viewed as a partisan political struggle" --
|
|
since the King legacy, and not "the King family" -- is the real
|
|
target.
|
|
|
|
-+- The True Issue... -+-
|
|
|
|
Those consulting King's own writings, such as his last speech to
|
|
his Southern Christian Leadership Conference, might find
|
|
enlightenment as to what the true issue in this case is. "The
|
|
tendency to ignore the Negro's contribution to American life and
|
|
to strip him of his personhood is as old as the earliest history
|
|
books and as contemporary as the morning's newspaper. To upset
|
|
this cultural homicide, the Negro must rise up with an
|
|
affirmation of his own Olympian (sic) manhood. Any movement for
|
|
the Negro's freedom that overlooks this necessity is only waiting
|
|
to be buried."
|
|
|
|
Dexter King asserted in his remarks to the press, "What we are
|
|
witnessing in 1994 is a classical encroachment and annexation of
|
|
a people and their history by the federal government in 1996,
|
|
through their agent the NPS."
|
|
|
|
Meetings are expected to occur the first week of January, in
|
|
which Congressional and other forces will seek to intervene in
|
|
the situation.
