Beside the cops shooting African Americans, some human rights advocates in America started to publish information about aggressive policing tactics in minority communities. The level of policing of the black community is facilitated by the surveillance laws and surveillance technology developed for the war on terror.
In January, Alvaro Bedoya wrote an essay in “Slate” exploring the history of FBI surveillance of activists and people of color, using the example of Martin Luther King Jr., and how those practices have advanced with technology. The conference “The Color of Surveillance: Government Monitoring of the African American Community” is shown below in video, 4 parts, it starts with the history of surveillance reaching all the way back to the days of slavery and plantations. The timeline will then jump to World Word I, W.E.B. Du Bois, and the “negro subversion” division of military intelligence, which was formed to spy on black activists. Then, attendees will hear about Martin Luther King Jr. and the days of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and his COINTELPRO program focused on monitoring of social and political activists. The conference was held by Georgetown Law and the Center on Privacy and Technology.
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four
