The stage for The MLK Project is set as the cast explores the deeper roots of Western civilization, making the case that Marxism is both foreign and antithetical to the biblical ethic that has shaped and advanced Western thought. In this episode, the cast lays down a clear framework from which to later examine the deviant intentions of the Civil Rights Movement, while articulating the importance of America’s republic within the broader context of Western history and Christian values.
We witness the collision of two worlds in this episode, as the purveyors of communist ideology emerged in mid-19th-century London and began their assault on the Christian ethic that had long undergirded Western civilization. The cast delves into the horrific consequences that followed as Communism took root in Russia, unleashing a wave of devastation and human suffering. The story then turns to the early 20th century, when American communists sought to replicate this revolutionary model—just as black Americans were achieving significant social and economic progress and racial barriers were beginning to crumble. It was a moment of hope which Marxist forces aimed to subvert and undermine, determined in their mission to redirect that progress toward their own ideological, ungodly ends.
Episode three challenges the convenient fiction that the racial conflicts of the past were born solely from white supremacist bigotry. Through careful inquiry, the cast uncovers how Communist operatives used agitation and provocation to deepen racial divides and exploit them for ideological ends. Drawing on archival evidence, investigative scholarship and firsthand accounts from figures such as the late Communist functionary, Mortimer Daniel Rubin, and twentieth-century journalist, George Schuyler, the episode reveals that many who claimed to champion black civil rights also helped ignite the very hostilities that oppressed them.
Episode four -- “Who Hath Bewitched You?” -- exposes how Communist organizers, religious apostates and political tacticians worked in concert to merge revolutionary materialism with the church's moral vocabulary. This episode reveals how the quiet synthesis between faith and ideology laid the groundwork for a movement that cloaked Marxist objectives in spiritual rhetoric. As the narrative unfolds, you will be challenged to reconsider what you've been taught about the origins of the Civil Rights Movement struggle, and to confront how the language of redemption was repurposed for unrighteous revolution.
In this pivotal episode of The MLK Project, the story traces how the death of Joseph Stalin and the waning of the McCarthy era forced global communism to adapt in order to survive. What had been a “close call” for the movement during the height of anti-communist scrutiny became a lesson in subtlety; an evolution from open confrontation to quiet infiltration. As Khrushchev rebranded the Soviet image and figures like Stanley Levison refined the strategy at home, Marxist influence sought new ways to embed itself within American social and religious institutions. The episode follows the formative years of Martin Luther King Jr., revealing how his theological training and associations reflected this calculated transformation in communist tactics, preserving the ideology’s reach while avoiding its exposure.
Episode 6 takes direct aim at one of America’s most sacred narratives—the portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. as the divinely inspired leader of a spontaneous, purely moral crusade. This powerful installment uncovers the ideological machinery behind the Civil Rights Movement, examining the role of the Highlander Folk School, a communist training ground that molded heralded activists like Rosa Parks, John Lewis and even King himself. Through rarely seen archival footage and bold historical analysis, "He that Sows Discord" exposes how the language of faith and nonviolence was weaponized to mask a calculated political strategy rooted in marxist revolution. The result is an honest reexamination of a movement long revered as righteous and organic, uncovering how its public image was deliberately engineered to promote a marxian reordering of American society under the guise of racial justice.
Episode 7 delivers a striking exposé on the hidden architects behind the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the early Civil Rights Movement. This episode reveals how, unlike leaders of grassroots moral awakenings, key communist operatives including Stanley Levison, Joseph Filner and Jack O’Dell strategically embedded themselves within Martin Luther King Jr.’s accessible inner circle, securing his funding and shaping both his message and his psychological operation strategy from behind the scenes. Through testimony, archival footage and hard evidence, "They Have Crept In Unnoticed" dismantles the belief that King’s campaign for justice was independent and spiritually pure. The episode exposes how “nonviolence” and “social justice” rhetoric became tools of ideological subversion, used to advance federal centralization, erode states’ rights and smuggle Marxian collectivism into America’s religious and political consciences.
In the powerful season finale, Chad and his cast uncovers the buried story of Dr. Joseph H. Jackson, the steadfast leader of the National Baptist Convention who resisted the radical, anti-Christian forces driving the Civil Rights Movement. While Martin Luther King Jr. and his allies advanced a deceptive and politically manipulative agenda rooted in marxism, Jackson stood apart, calling black Americans back to faith, moral discipline and personal responsibility. Through rare historical footage and sharp analysis, “But the Wise Will Calm Anger” reveals how Jackson’s biblical convictions collided with the Civil Rights Movement’s bad actors' nefarious ambitions, and how his warnings about the movement's Communist undercurrent was dismissed and later erased from public memory. The episode also reveals an intentionally erased scandalous side of King, as it explores the violent 1961 Baptist Convention confrontation (of which King was complicit) that sought to oust Jackson.
