Summary:
"This is the third volume of FBI files produced by the MuckRock team. This one is focused on Activists and consists of documents from the FBI files obtained by over 4,000 Freedom of Information Act Requests made by the MuckRock team. Some of these documents are available elsewhere (by FOIA requests made by others, and are ostensibly in the public domain). But much of this material has been released for the first time as a result of MuckRock's FOIA requests. As with the previous two volumes, Morisy's team at MuckRock have done a lot of work in sifting through the files, compiling and curating material from almost 2 million pages of released documents. As with the previous volume the documents are arranged by alphabetically by subject (activist). Each section of documents starts with a short introduction, which provides a brief summary and context for the documents that follow ... Activists include: Roger Nash Baldwin; Cesar Chavez; Hedy Espstein; Elizabeth gurley Flynn; Betty Friedan; Thelma Glass; Fred Hampton; Abbie Hoffman; Martin Luther King, Jr.; Harvey Milk; Bayard Rustin; Margaret Sanger; Aaron Swartz; John Trudell; Malcolm X; Howard Zinn."-- Provided by publisher.
