Fifty [50] years ago on the day of this blog topic, which was May 2, 1972, was the death of the first director of the Bureau of Investigation, later the Federal Bureau of Investigation: J. Edgar Hoover.
I have no respect for Hoover, and certainly not for his legacy, especially given he was a corrupt and destructive force for 48 years.
Certainly there is no respect to be given Hoover—who targeted and destroyed people’s lives due mainly to political reasons—but this week’s blog topic does note the milestone anniversary of his death.
These below videos by Hezakya Newz & Film, who I added to recommended Videos this past February. The first three videos focus on Hoover’s funeral and, while he was alive, his secrets. The fourth and fifth videos focus on two human beings who ended up destroyed by Hoover’s FBI: Black Panther Party activist Fred Hampton (1948–1969) and actress Jean Seberg (1938–1979).
