Pretty good, but you failed to include Hoovers attack on Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. Without Garvey there would be no Malcolm, Martin or Black Panther party. Hoovers attack on Black civil rights were relentless. He also did not destroy the KKK.

A while back I was looking for a quality channel to fall asleep to. I discovered this one only to be drawn into the stories of each individual. I’ve learned so much and find myself fascinated by people I would’ve deemed boring in my younger days. Thanks again for the hard work and neutral narrative. No biases, no personal opinions. Love the voice, and the intro always gets me a little giddy.

[@caroleminke6116]

My mother caught my father in our kitchen bathroom one night wearing my sister’s bra & panties. He also stole her Victoria’s Secret catalog. It’s typical of male narcissists who were mother’s golden boy as he was till he died

[@ralphsimpson5230]

Hoover was a Crafty Butcher and a Chutney Ferret. and had the dope on many people.

Why wait until you die? What kind of heterosexual man would live with his mother until the age of 45? He NEVER had a relationship with a woman, and had breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with extended vacations, with Clyde Tolson. His inner circle of friends were well aware of his homosexuality. There are several KZbin documentaries about it.

[@rasheed7934]

This isn't even about Slavery but I see people saying the civil war wasn't fought over slavery. These people are so tiresome.

[@user-lz6dd7zl6p]

If considering the scale of perishing in labour camps, fierce tortures during interrogations, and executions for trifles or nothing, Hoover looks rather inoffensive in comparison with his colleagues and contemporaries, Genrikh Himmler and Laurentiy Behriya. Thus, Hoover was buried with honours, while the ashes of two others were thrown away. Certainly, Hoover wasn't an angel at all. The matter is that a supreme police chief is a mirror of all the political situation in a given power. Sergey (61), Russia.

[@chrisabler1925]

He was both to some extent. I have heard many things about him that this documentary ignored, and it is probably better for that.

[@Rasdawg915]

Tubmans husband was a rich, free black male, who had voting rights when most whites didn't. And also helped her set up the underground railroad through contacts he had even though he thought it was a bad idea. Food for thought. History is usually not fully taught.

[@barbarabrooks4747]

Hoover has been vindicated about his claims of communist infiltration of politics and the civil rights movement. I think he should have been more aggressive in protecting black civil rights, and then after his agency proved its exemplary protection of civil rights, reveal links to communism and corruption in the civil rights movement. Criticism of communist leanings in the civil rights movement would have been received by Congress and the public if the FBI had really helped black Americans in good faith and protected protesters.

[@kevinhealey6540]

You can say what you want about him, but the country was much better off when he was there. Difficulties arose after he was gone. For instance it was very difficult for the FBI to find Patty Hearst. Joe Pistone (Donnie Brosco) said he was a great man. He led the FBI when he first joined.
