Never forget your federal government created and operated an entire covert program with the sole purpose of bringing down Black leaders, revolutionaries, and activists and otherwise undermining and disrupting Black progress in the 60s.
This program operated in secret for more than a decade until exposed in the early 70s. I know you don’t think that’s when the program ended though, right? Good. Because COINTELPRO tactics, often illegal, are still being used today. (Here’s looking at you, PRISM, NSA, Patriot Act…)
