What kind of relationship did Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy have?
Although their ideologies were miles apart, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X appeared cordial toward each other when they met. At the end of their lives, each was becoming more like their adversary. Dr. King, long known for his non-violent resistance tactic, was leaning more towards militancy. Malcolm X, once the spokesman for the Nation of Islam, had split from the radical group when he embraced Sunni Islam. He had reached out to other civil rights leaders, because he wanted to be known for more than just being a counter revolutionary.
Was Lee Harvey Oswald convicted?
Technically, Oswald was "innocent", in the sense that he never lived to be tried, and here in the US a person is considered innocent until proven guilty.
However, if you define "innocent" to mean "he didn't do it", then he absolutely was not innocent.
While many have attempted to whitewash Oswald, typically they do it by way of mistaken or even wrong information. Oswald's palmprint was lifted from his rifle while he was still alive. Conspiracy buffs see some significance to the fact that his palmprint was taken by the FBI after his death. The fact that there is no way to go from ink on a card, to body oil on a rifle, is not mentioned by buffs, as is the fact that the palmprint was lifted while Oswald was still alive.
Other incorrect information is also popular. At one point in time there was some belief that Oswald needed and had help, a fellow sniper on the Grassy Knoll. We now know that at the moment of the head shot, there was a concrete wall between this location and the President's head. In any case, the spot was wide open to the public to see, and in fact at least one witness was less than 20 feet away.
Forensic analysis reveals that an instant before the President's head exploded *forward and to the right* his head was driven three inches violently down and forward, clearly by Oswald's bullet from behind and above. The explosion of debris then twisted his head back and to the left. This was mistaken for proof of another sniper. However, a rifle on his right side would have left an exit hole on his left side of his head, quite possibly moving on to strike Jackie. No such thing happened.
Some claim that Oswald "mysteriously" had two wallets, one found on him at the theater, one at the site where he murdered Officer Tippet. No wallet was found at the Tippet scene; the DPD was simply photographed with *a* wallet there, no doubt checking the IDs of witnesses, that sort of thing.
There are those who claim, on no evidence at all, that Oswald worked for the CIA. No one has turned up a canceled paycheck, or any other proof. Anyone too dead to defend himself can be accused of that.
There are those who see great importance that the man who murdered Oswald was tangentially connected with the Mob... but if you look at the record, Ruby was barely squeaking by, even running two night clubs. Doesn't sound much like a Mob business!
See the links below; they are excellent for comprehending the evidence-based conclusions.

How long after the John F. Kennedy assassination did Lee Harvey Oswald become a suspect?
Only a few minutes, as he was the only employee who failed to show up for a roll call. His description was radioed out, which is probably why Officer Tippett pulled over to talk to him, and Oswald shot him. Then he dodged police cars by going in a theater without paying, and tried to shoot the arresting officers when they arrived. And yet there are those who like to pretend he was innocent and JFK died as some sort of Illuminati Reptilian Skull and Bones Trilateral Rothchilds Bilderberger Zionist Nazi Mafia CIA NWO conspiracy.

Was the Soviet Missiles based in Cuba?
Yes, missiles from the Soviet Union were transported to and assembled in Cuba before the 1963 Cuban missile crisis.
In the documentary movie "The Fog of War", Robert McNamara (then the Secretary of Defense for the Kennedy administration) tells of a discussion of his in the 1990's with Cuba's leader Fidel Castro. McNamara recalls that Castro said he not only had nuclear warheads available on the island, but that he would have used them on the US if the US had invaded. Stunned by this McNamara asked if Castro would do this knowing full-well that the US would respond with overwhelming nuclear force, and Castro answered "Yes."
I recommend you read about the Cuban Missile Crisis on Wikipedia and there's an excellent little book on the Cold War titled "The Cold War: A Very Short Introduction" by Oxford university press.

Did John F. Kennedy overthrow Castro?
Fidel Castro was ruler of Cuba when Kennedy became President, was still ruler during the entire Kennedy Presidency, and remained ruler long after Kennedy died.
Deliberately deceived by the CIA into thinking it would work, Kennedy authorized an invasion of anti-Castro rebels into Cuba. It was a complete and total failure, as the CIA knew it would be, but Kennedy did not follow this up with explicit US military support.
In other words, Kennedy WANTED Castro to be overthrown, but realized it could not be done without major repercussions.
