The Last Crusade: Martin Luther King Jr., the Fbi, and the Poor People's CampaignIn The Last Crusade, Gerald McKnight examines the Poor People's Campaign, the last large scale demonstration of civil rights era America, and the systematic efforts of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and his executive officers to subvert King's ambitious effort to force the federal government to live up to its promises of a Great Society. The book also looks at King's last days as he helped Memphis sanitation workers in their labor cum civil rights
In The Last Crusade, Gerald McKnight examines the Poor People's Campaign, the last large-scale demonstration of civil rights-era America, and the systematic efforts of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and his executive officers to subvert King's ambitious effort to force the federal government to live up to its promises of a Great Society. The book also looks at King's last days as he helped Memphis sanitation workers in their labor-cum-civil rights struggle with a recalcitrant and racist city government. Although there is no persuasive evidence that the FBI and the Memphis police conspired to assassinate King, McKnight marshals evidence to show that neither agency was blameless.The conventional view of the Poor People's Campaign is that it was a self-inflicted failure. The blame rested squarely on the shoulders of the second-raters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference who failed to fill the leadership vacuum after King's assassination. But, as McKnight shows, there was a hidden, dark counterpoint to the accepted version--namely, the triumph of the 1960s American surveillance state and its repressive power and flagrant violation of protected freedoms. In fact, whatever the FBI wanted to do to disrupt the Campaign, it did, aided and abetted by local police agencies and elements of the federal government, including military intelligence.Binding Type: Hardcover

Trustworthy
This protection plan is honest and true. I never purchase any electronics without it, not because I don't trust the product, but because anything can happen and ASURION has always come through when I needed them.

Prompt attention and quick refund
Awesome service. Purchased item at the end of 2023 and Asurion quickly, after return, refunded purchase price to my Amazon account. No hassle coverage. Have purchased Asurion on many purchases in the past and will in the future. Worth every penny. Saved a bunch in matters of money, quality, time and convenience.

Asurion does not honor their protection plans
Purchased a 3 year protection plan for my gaming monitor. The monitor broke after 2 years due to accidentally being dropped, which was covered under the plan. Asurion denied my claim saying they do not cover this issue. Thankfully Amazon customer service was able to help me return the monitor but this should have been handled through asurion not Amazon. If you buy a protection plan just know that asurion may not honor it if you need to use it. I have no confidence in asurion after my experience but am grateful for Amazon taking over the issue and fully resolving it for me.

Asurion stands behind their policy
I am very proud to know that Asurion stands behind their policy; if an item doesn't function, it should. The process was user-friendly and quick. Thank you, Asurion.
