    J. Edgar Hoover was one of the most despicable men of the 20th century. He was a lifelong bigot who despised & undermined Black leaders.

        Hoover was a malignant force for 50 years. His death was a relief akin to Stalin's. No one should ever wield that much power ever again.

        True. Compared to LE prior, he was at first a positive force. But he was corrupted by the power he accrued, & used it against his critics.

        As he grows, the lessons must also grow in intensity, as well. Young Black males are in jeopardy and under attack, constantly, so sad...

        Damn straight. He had the FBI try to convince Martin Luther King to commit suicide while he was in jail - for protesting.
