COINTELPRO was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted by the FBI aimed at disrupting dissident political organizations such as The Communist Party USA, Socialist Workers Party, Puerto Rico Independance Movement, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, SNCC, SCLC, Black Panter Party, Marcus Garvey, NAACP, CORE, American Indian Movement, H. Rap Brown, Elijah Muhammad, RAM, NOI and The New Left (a primarily white campus-based movement of various organizations). Prominent people who sympathized with the grousp were targeted as well: Dick Gregory, Jane Fonda, John Lennon, Jean Seberg, Tom Hayden, etc. Princeton & Columbia University weren't spared either. The KKK were targed as well, but if you click the link below you would see that most of the programs were aimed at groups promoting positive social change.
