Viola Liuzzo's family wants Hoover's name off the FBI building.

6. IIRC Hoover never liked blacks or the Civil Rights Movement, its leaders, its activities

* IIRC he bugged MLK's rooms, tried to get dirt on him. Communist connections, adultry, etc

* FBI had agents, informants in groups working against Civil Rights workers. They often allowed beatings, burnings, etc, to occur in order to protect their cover. I believe there's a suspicion that at least some of info was not acted on because Hoover didn't care

Doesn't Mississippi Burning claim FBI was working on side of Civil Rights workers and the blacks? I remember many blacks were quite angry at the prominent role the movie gave whites, seeming to imply that whites led the activites and were responsible for gains made
