Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
COINTELPRO, the secret FBI project to infiltrate and disrupt domestic organizations thought to be subversive, targeted African-American, Native-American and other movements for self-determination by people of color in the US. Between 1956 and 1971, the FBI conducted more than 2,000 COINTELPRO operations. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be broadcasting the documentary film, COINTELPRO 101. Today we hear the first half of the film, produced by the Freedom Archives.
Special thanks to The Freedom Archives.
