Dive into a provocative and eye-opening episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, hosted by CEO Bryan Dawson, as he sits down with filmmaker Chad O. Jackson to discuss his groundbreaking docuseries, The MLK Project, premiering October 3rd.  In this candid conversation, Jackson fearlessly challenges the widely accepted narrative surrounding Martin Luther King Jr., exposing a side of the civil rights icon that has been obscured by decades of public education and media portrayal. With meticulous research and historical receipts, Jackson unveils King’s ties to Marxist ideologies, his role in expanding federal power, and the subversive impact of the Civil Rights Movement on both black communities and American society.

Jackson, a plumber who moonlights as an independent historian and filmmaker, shares his journey of uncovering unsettling truths about King’s legacy, inspired by figures like the late Voddie Baucham. From King’s documented personal scandals to his strategic alignment with communist influencers, this episode dismantles the myth of MLK as a moral paragon, revealing him as a calculated figure who advanced a social gospel antithetical to Christian values.

Dawson and Jackson explore how the Civil Rights Movement shifted black culture away from self-reliance, as championed by Booker T. Washington, and toward government dependency, with devastating consequences still visible in urban communities today.

The discussion also delves into the broader implications of King’s legacy, from the erosion of state sovereignty to the infiltration of Marxist ideas into modern churches. Jackson’s docuseries promises to deliver a hard-hitting exposé, backed by primary sources and contributions from scholars like Dr. Carol Swain. Tune in to hear why Jackson believes we must confront these uncomfortable truths to reclaim a free and flourishing America.  Find The MLK Project at chadojackson.com, Patreon, or Vimeo on Demand, and follow Jackson’s work on social media @ChadoJackson.
