‘COINTELPRO 101’: An Interview with Filmmaker Claude Marks

In an interview by Minister of Information JR in the SF BayView newspaper, Claude Marks teaches us some history:

“COINTELPRO is both a formal program of the FBI and a term frequently used to describe a conspiracy among government agencies – local, state and federal – to destroy movements for self-determination and liberation for Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous struggles, as well as mount an institutionalized attack against allies of these movements and other progressive organizations.”
