14. Didn't stop with Dr. King. In 1970 Hoover's FBI worked to destroy actress Jean Seberg.

Her crime was supporting justice, equality and fairness for African Americans.

FBI agents followed procedures and filed the proper paperwork in order to smear her.




Evidence exists that J. Edgar Hoover was personally aggrieved by Seberg fraternizing with the Black Panthers, as a blonde Aryan Hollywood icon, her “racial betrayal” was deemed acutely unacceptable.
