Quite the previously unknown stories this morning from

Jonathan Capehart’s interview with King associate Dr. Clarence B. Jones, now in his 90s:

1) about how he smuggled out “Letters from the Birmingham Jail” written on white spaces of newspapers and also on sheets of paper he brought in to King under his shirt. Jones had no idea what he had smuggled out till the piece was later typed up!

2) about his role in being summoned secretly by Harry Belafonte to show up at a NY bank, then meeting Nelson Rockefeller’s brother in the vault to receive and sign for $100,000 for anon bail money he’d take back to Birmingham to free King. Though Jones had signed for the money to be repaid at the bank, he later received a note saying the debt was forgiven!
