Add comment in the FBI section regarding the FBI's actions against other integrationist and segregationist groups as described in Donner's "The Age of Surveillance". Possible there was a clandestine policy to suppress all "serious" racial agitation, integrationist and segregationist. Also, possible it was felt racial agitation could not be tolerated during the Cold War. It seems obvious there was animosity toward Dr. King on Hoover's part but there may be more to it than that.

In the fourth paragraph of the intro, "scapegoat" is incorrectly hyperlinked to the religious meaning. Instead, it should be hyperlinked to the social-psychological meaning of the word. These use cases of "scapegoat" have separate Wikipedia articles. The correct article to hyperlink is the following:
