The MLK Project

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.
