UC Berkeley's Library has acquired a digital database of FBI records on the surveillance of African Americans throughout the 20th century, expanding the trove of federal records the library has assembled over the years. The objective, according to an FBI memo: to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" the radical fight for Black rights — and Black power. "These documents...reveal and confirm the kind of root investment in anti-Blackness and quelling dissent that has long been part of our government structure," says Leigh Raiford, professor of African American studies.
