This week’s “American Gangster” delves into the
most controversial and allegedly racist FBI director J. Edgar Hoover
and COINTELPRO, the agency’s Counter Intelligence Program, which
was a top secret directive that both authorized and mandated illegal
harassment of domestic groups and U.S. citizens like the Black Panther
Party, Muhammad Ali, Bill Ayers (Weather Underground organization),
Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad, Assata Shakur and many more in the 1960s.
This initiative was dubbed America’s war on blacks. –yvette caslin
