Op-eds from outside contributors to The Dallas Morning News Opinion section.
On Oct. 10, 1963, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI began its campaign of surveillance and propaganda against Martin Luther King Jr. Contributor Lerone A. Martin writes that the bureau hasn't learned from its history.Sixty years ago today, Attorney General Robert Kennedy granted J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI a long-awaited gift: permission to conduct electronic surveillance on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
“You can’t explain to a Negro,” King noted, “how it is that a plane can be bombed, and its pieces scattered for miles and the crime can be solved, but can’t find out who bombed a church.”In recent years, the FBI has made efforts to acknowledge this “shameful history” by distancing itself from Hoover and incorporating King. FBI Director James Comey used the history as a policy plumb line, displaying the infamous 1963 memo on his desk.
