Subsequently, the source ascertained that Levison advised
Harry Wachtel that he had spoken to Coretta King, widow of

Martin Luther King, and told her that the SCLC has forgotten
what the people who went to Washington for the PPC went for.
He said he told her that she does not have the capacity to
solve the problems, that he does not believe she should go
into the leadership but if she does he will not go with her.
Levison mentioned that there is a complete lack of integrity,
