Original Note:
MLK was not a felon. King's only felony charge came in 1960 when he became the first person ever criminally charged in the state of Alabama on tax fraud. King was accused of falsifying his 1956 and 1958 Alabama income tax returns. An all-white jury acquitted him. https://www.phillytrib.com/news/across_america/martin-luther-king-jr-s-arrest-record-in-georgia-county-to-be-expunged/article_2dd341b4-83a9-58a1-a0b2-62088c10534d.html
