Well, there was that rape incident that MLK allegedly encouraged: https://www.standpointmag.co.uk/the-troubling-legacy-of-mart...

Apparently the audio tapes get released in 2027 so we may find out for sure then.

With 20 seconds of audio, I can make MLK Jr. say whatever you want.

The very funny “presidents discuss anime” video opened my eyes and that was like 3 years ago. Audio is going to have to require some kind of proof of authenticity going forward.

not just audio unfortunately.

They're tapes from the time. I think the check is to see if the 40-50 year old tapes match the 40-50 year old transcripts.

And that's going to take another year?
