Bayard Rustin?

I thought Mahatma Ghandi was his inspiration, but since he was dead, I guess I don't.

Jesus, if you don't know him they wrote a whole book about him

Are you referring to Jewish Communist Stanley Levison? I have found a very aggressive site http://www.martinlutherking.org/thebeast.html which attacks the character and ideals of MLK. Wikipedia discusses some of these allegations, which came from the FBI:The attempt to prove that King was a Communist was in keeping with the feeling of many segregationists that blacks in the South were happy with their lot, but had been stirred up by "communists" and "outside agitators." Lawyer-advisor Stanley D. Levinson did have ties with the Communist Party in various business dealings, but the FBI refused to believe its own intelligence bureau reports that Levinson was no longer associated in that capacity. Movement leaders countered that voter disenfranchisement, lack of education and employment opportunities, discrimination and vigilante violence were the reasons for the strength of the Civil Rights Movement, and that blacks had the intelligence and motivation to organize on their own. Later, the focus of the Bureau's investigations shifted to attempting to discredit King through revelations regarding his private life. FBI surveillance of King, some of it since made public, attempted to demonstrate that he also engaged in numerous extramarital affairs. However, much of what was recorded was, as quoted by his attorney, speech-writer and close friend Clarence B. Jones, "midnight" talk or just two close friends joking around about women. Further remarks on King's lifestyle were made by several prominent officials, such as President Lyndon B. Johnson who notoriously said that King was a “hypocrite preacher”. It isn't clear if King actually engaged in extramarital affairs or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.#King_and_the_FBI It seems that Levinson was proven by the FBI to have had no contact with Communism at the time he advised MLK, and that allegations of sexual impropriety were never proven. And even if they were, does it change what MLK did for the AFrican Americans? Not at all. Americans and people all over the world rever JFK and look was a bed hopper he was...and Bill Clinton is getting millions lecturing.... If there is no PROOF of these allegations, and even the FBI dropped them, then don't resurrect them to sully the man's memory.
