COINTELPRO, which is short for Counter Intelligence Program, was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during the 1950s and 60s, aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations. Such organizations included ones deemed “subversive,” including Civil Rights activists, the Black Panthers, anti-Vietnam war organizers, the KKK, white supremacists groups, and many more.
