| Cointelpro:
the counter-intelligence program of the FBI |
The FBI Counterintelligence Program
file contains details of the bureau’s attempts to
“expose, disrupt, and neutralize” groups that J.
Edgar Hoover perceived as threatening to national
security. The material in this file, spanning COINTELPRO’s
existence from 1956 to 1971, is especially valuable
for the view it offers of the U.S. political climate
in the 1960s. The file is organized in sections
that reflect the bureau’s interests, among them
the Communist Party of the USA, Black nationalist
“hate” groups, White “hate” groups, the Socialist
Workers Party, and Cuban groups supporting Fidel
Castro. |
