Newly-released documents show that federal agents spied on the widow of Reverend Martin Luther King Junior for several years after his assassination in 1968. The documents show that the FBI worried Coretta Scott King would follow in the footsteps of the slain civil rights leader. In memos, the FBI noted concern that she might attempt "to tie the anti-Vietnam movement to the civil rights movement." The FBI closed its file on King four years after her husband’s death. Coretta Scott King died in February 2006.
