Martin Luther King was a scouser. You can tell 'cos he nicked notepaper from the Adephi without anyone knowing he was there.

Organisers of an art project have apologised after they were "misled" by the "famous Liverpudlian sense of humour".
Liverpool Discovers was forced to apologise after it published claims in a tour guide that Martin Luther King Jnr's "I have a dream" speech was penned in Liverpool's Adelphi Hotel.

I think its true.....also the Moon landing happened in Liverpool cos its in our sky so it must have....the first Comedian was invented in Liverpool...a Cat and Dog Hybrid was bred in Liverpool but drowned in Sefton Park lake after chasing itself......Everton won the premiership (sorry too far fetched)
I looked everywhere,but the nearest connection I could find,was,James Earl Ray(his assassin) being collared at Heathrow airport!!
Another conspiracy?!
During the 1990s, the widow and children of Martin Luther King Jr. spoke publicly in support of Ray and his claims, calling him innocent and speculating about an assassination conspiracy involving the U.S. government and military. U.S. authorities were, in conspiracists' minds, implicated circumstantially. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover obsessed over King, who he thought was under communist influence. For the last six years of his life, King underwent constant wiretapping and harassment by the FBI. Before his death, Dr. King was also monitored by U.S. military intelligence, which may have been asked to watch King after he publicly denounced the Vietnam War in 1967. Furthermore, by calling for radical economic reforms in 1968, including guaranteed annual incomes for all, King was making few new friends in the Cold War-era U.S. government.

I wasn't aware of the previous attempts on King's life,including ,being stabbed,and his home being firebombed! After his death,in 1998,his convicted killer,Ray, was considered a victim of a murder conspiracy,by a Tennesee jury!
As suspected. They can't pull the wool over our eyes.

I'd like to know who they were???
“All the information published in our literature has come from a lengthy public consultation where the people of Liverpool were asked to tell their stories about the city. This was then verified by local historians.”
James Earl Ray appears to have been an arch manipulator of the media, putting out so many stories, first admitting to the crime and then issuing various denials that he ended up putting up a smokescreen that hid the truth. Mark David Chapman in some ways has done the same thing about the Lennon assassination.

The verification process left something to be desired. And why anyway would local historians know better than historians who had actually studied the career of Martin Luther King? Sounds like they are trying to paper over their error.

It does indeed Chris.
Who are these 'Local Historians' or are they just scapegoats for the failure of Liverpool Discovers to check facts.
I know of at least one other mistake (not a historical one) the Liverpool Discovers team made.
