I was looking at W.E.B. DuBois's F.B.I. declassified FOIA file (the FBI seems entirely unaware of Du Bois's existence prior to 1942 and spends a great deal of time thereafter tracking him around the globe and analyzing his writing and speeches) and stumbled on this, which is fucked up on so many levels, the least of which being that the web person refers to Myles Horton, one of the more important figures in the history of movements for social justice in the U.S. South, as "Miles Norton." I think this qualifies as "adding insult to injury.
Also worth taking a look at: Ayn Rand and J. Edgar Hoover's bizarre correspondence
and was Obi-Wan Kenobi a communist?
