During the month of January, we will be celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his achievements as a civil rights activist.

This film uncovers the extent of the FBI’s surveillance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., based on newly discovered and declassified files, utilizing a trove of documents obtained through the Freedom of Information act. The documentary also explores the government's history of targeting Black activists. 

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Edgartown Free Public Library.
