FBI Never Stopped Unlawful Spying on Dissidents
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
28 Oct 2019
🖨️ Print Article

Report author Chip Gibbons, of Defending Rights and Dissent, said the FBI’s framing of so-called Black Identity Extremists is especially insidious. “What they’re saying is, if you’re Black and you’re angry about racism, you’re likely to commit a crime” and must be closely watched.
