My theory is that he accomplished his job with exposing American racism which lead to the enactment Civil Rights legislation. Four years later,
"Higher powers" viewed MLK Jr. as a threat to the status quo. After King's death, the Democrats wilted and the GOP took over.
The FBI hounded MLK for nealrly 2 decades and set him up with numerous women, but his wife and family stood by King and his mission.
This question is a followup to a discussion regarding gay marriage where I was called a bigot for expressing my view that Dr. King opened the door for gay marriage. I mentioned the Stonewall riots which welcomed the gay rights movement, which has nothing to do with MLK Jr.'s non-violent civil rights movement.
