John Karl Kershaw (October 12, 1913 – September 7, 2010) was an American attorney best known for challenging the official account of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968, claiming that his client James Earl Ray was an unwitting participant in a ploy devised by a mystery man named Raul to kill the civil rights leader.
Kershaw was also a member of The General Joseph E. Johnston Camp 28 Sons of Confederate Veterans and a Southern secessionist and segregationist who helped found the League of the South. In 1998, Kershaw sculpted a Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue that has drawn wide criticism and mockery by national media.[1]
