- Memo on Black Unrest in the Midwest #2
- Creator
- Winterrowd, E. H. (FBI)
- Description
- Follow-up summary from Major Ken Kirwan, U.S. Army, discussing possible demonstrations and unrest in the Midwest. Major Kirwan was an informant for the FBI. It is important to note, although this is listed alongside COINTELPRO files, this surveillance took place prior to formal initiation of COINTELPRO in 1956. The type of surveillance here is a precursor to the further expansion of mass surveillance activities throughout COINTELPRO.
