Frankly, it's far from inconceivable that Hoover was behind all 4 assassinations. He absolutely hated the Kennedys, Bobby in particular, and, as you say, wanted to preserve segregation and Jim Crow. Malcolm and Martin were a threat to that, particularly as their positions on key issues moved closer to each other's.
