MLK Jr. Case File

The brief for this infographic project asked the designer to take something apart. I decided to take apart MLK Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail. Like an fbi case file, I began piecing together newspaper articles, magazine articles, and photographs, creating a linear timeline from the arrest of mlk jr. on April 12th, 1963 to the March on Washington, which took place later that same year. Throughout the research process, I began to uncover more information regarding the FBI's involvement, under Edgar J. Hoover, in attempting to smear, disrupt, and directly threaten MLK Jr., and the entirety of the Civil Rights movement.
