Hoover approves plan to discredit black leader
FBI documents released to the Senate intelligence committee show that former director J. Edgar Hoover approved a campaign to smear Midwest black militant Charles E. Koen with anonymous letters accusing him of adultery and being an informant. The effort spanned 1968 to 1971, with consent at each step, though it remains unclear if letters were ever sent. Koen, now a minister in Cairo, Illinois, was targeted after St. Louis FBI officials proposed a letter criticizing his talks about possible violence.
