The Last Crusade: Martin Luther King Jr., the Fbi, and the Poor People's CampaignIn The Last Crusade, Gerald McKnight examines the Poor People's Campaign, the last large scale demonstration of civil rights era America, and the systematic efforts of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and his executive officers to subvert King's ambitious effort to force the federal government to live up to its promises of a Great Society. The book also looks at King's last days as he helped Memphis sanitation workers in their labor cum civil rights

In The Last Crusade, Gerald McKnight examines the Poor People's Campaign, the last large-scale demonstration of civil rights-era America, and the systematic efforts of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and his executive officers to subvert King's ambitious effort to force the federal government to live up to its promises of a Great Society. The book also looks at King's last days as he helped Memphis sanitation workers in their labor-cum-civil rights struggle with a recalcitrant and racist city government. Although there is no persuasive evidence that the FBI and the Memphis police conspired to assassinate King, McKnight marshals evidence to show that neither agency was blameless.The conventional view of the Poor People's Campaign is that it was a self-inflicted failure. The blame rested squarely on the shoulders of the second-raters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference who failed to fill the leadership vacuum after King's assassination. But, as McKnight shows, there was a hidden, dark counterpoint to the accepted version--namely, the triumph of the 1960s American surveillance state and its repressive power and flagrant violation of protected freedoms. In fact, whatever the FBI wanted to do to disrupt the Campaign, it did, aided and abetted by local police agencies and elements of the federal government, including military intelligence.

Essential daily protection to complete my routine
As part of my skincare routine focused on improving dark spots on my face, sunscreen is a must. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 70 has a smooth texture, a light and fresh scent, and feels comfortable on the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a heavy or greasy finish, which makes it easy to use every day. I like how it protects my skin without altering my natural skin tone, making it a perfect final step in my routine. It complements my skincare well and helps me stay consistent with daily protection. The pack also includes three tubes, which is very convenient and practical.

This is the suntan lotion I’ll buy from now on.
Really nice suntan lotion. I brought it to a quick Florida trip in early summer. Very light compared to other products we have on hand. Not greasy. I plan to buy this in future once we run out. I also really liked the set of three 3oz containers which made it perfect for travel. I give this product 5 stars without hesitation.

Best dry-touch broad spectrum sunscreen available.
I've use this for the past 10 years. It is highly effective. In addition, a small amount goes a long way and it is NOT GREASY!! That is a major plus for me. I keep a short beard and it is easy to use with the beard. It functions very well and I have not found a better product. Other than its effectiveness, you can't tell you used it.
