MLK

The local, 41st annual Martin Luther King Jr. parade was canceled because of the pandemic, but organizers encouraged people to reflect on King’s accomplishments regardless.

“MLK/FBI,” which IFC Films will release in theaters and on-demand Friday, chronicles one of the darkest chapters in the bureau’s history: the yearslong surveillance and harassment of King. Where others saw a leader of the highest order, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI saw a suspect — a potential communist and a threat to white America.
