Title A name given to the resource FBI documents on San Francisco CORE Subject The topic of the resource FBI documents on CORE Description An account of the resource This is a collection of FBI documents pertaining to San Francisco. They come from the Federal Surveillance of African Americans 1920-1984 database. According to Meier and Rudwick's history of CORE, the chapter was first set up by field secretary Gordon Carey in 1959. It became inactive within a few months but was revived by 1961 mostly due to the Freedom Rides. At the time it was a mostly White chapter The first set of documents are from 1961. They are part of the COINTELPRO program against the Communist Party (CPUSA). They report that according to an informant two leading members of CPUSA were trying to start a CORE chapter in San Francisco. The documents also show the FBI knew that CORE would refuse to affiliate a CORE chapter if CORE discovered through word of mouth that those applying had any type of CP connections. The FBI decided on counterintelligence actions to prevent the CPUSA members from forming a CORE chapter. An anonymous letter supposedly from a member of the NAACP was sent to warn CORE of the CPUSA members plans to establish a CORE chapter in San Francisco. The documents note how the Bureau was cautious the letter could not be traced back to the FBI. The second set of documents are from 1964. The chapter was then by Bill Bradley. At issue is an upcoming convention for an ‘action based socialist youth organization’ and plans by San Francisco CORE to demonstrate against the President. Again, as part of a plan ‘to expose and disrupt the communist inspired, Marxist inspired’ youth convention, the Bureau authored and sent a ‘fictitious letter’ to several local politicians and newspapers. Several newspaper articles were subsequently published in which CORE's plans to demonstrate against the President were denounced by the governor and mayor. The organization responsible for the youth convention (which would included many ‘militant civil rights figures’ including several members from CORE) is described by reporters as having ‘ominously left wing associations’ and connected to the Communist Party. The articles make a not so subtle connection between the civil rights movement and communism, the implication being the movement is something bent on destroying America thereby giving CORE a negative reputation. There is no critical analysis in the articles on the differences between socialism and communism. The reports make clear the FBI believed these articles and the politicians statements were a direct result of its ‘counterintelligence activity’. These were classic COINTELPRO tactics; sending anonymous letters, trying to use one organization in the movement against another, using reporters to plant stories in newspapers to further the goals of the FBI and disrupt groups that had been working on behalf of Blacks.

Title A name given to the resource FBI documents on Miami CORE chairman Pete Christiansen Subject The topic of the resource FBI documents on CORE Description An account of the resource This is a collection of FBI documents from 1965 pertaining to Miami CORE chairman Pete Christiansen. They show that Miami CORE was under investigation as part of the COINTELPRO program and designated as a ‘Hate Group’. They come from the Federal Surveillance of African Americans 1920-1984 database. The documents begin with a report on a newspaper article on the local NAACP’s plans to picket the Florida State building in support of Miami CORE’s Pete Christiansen. He had been fired from his state welfare job because he refused to resign as the chapter’s chairman. Christiansen’s views were considered ‘anti-police authority and opposed to good government’ and doubtful as to whether he had ‘the true interest of America and the Negro freedom movement at heart’. The local FBI office argued it would be in the best interests of both the Bureau and CORE ‘to expose and disrupt his efforts’. The efforts to discredit him in the movement also included mailing anonymous letters to ‘seven leaders in civil rights field’ in Miami. This was a classic COINTELPRO tactic. Christiansen was one of the few remaining White chairmen of a major CORE chapter. At the time he had recently graduated from the University of Miami with a double major in Psychology and in American Civilization. A draft resister and organizer against the Vietnam War, he went on to become a Unitarian minister. His twin brother BIll who is referenced in the documents was also a member of Miami CORE. He went on to work for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington, DC.

Title A name given to the resource photo of CORE national chairman Floyd McKissick, Durham CORE chairman Walter Riley and Malcolm X Subject The topic of the resource Floyd McKissick, Malcolm X Description An account of the resource This is a April 1963 photo of Malcolm X with Floyd McKissick (center), then CORE's national chairman. On the other side of McKissick is Walter Riley, chairman of the local Durham CORE chapter. The photo is from when McKissick debated Malcolm X in Durham, North Carolina. McKissick already had a good relationship with leaders of the local Nation of Islam (NOI) mosque. He had done legal work for the NOI and often worked with them on education programs. Members in turn protected McKissick's house after bomb threats were made against his family and at least on one occasion took it upon themselves to provide security for one of his demonstrations. Before he left Durham, Malcolm even stayed with the McKissicks at their home. The oldest daughter, Jocelyn Mckissick, was also suspended from school for promoting the event. The photo speaks to the relationship between CORE and Malcolm X. Regardless of the difference in philosophies (integration vs. separation), Malcolm X had a closer relationship with CORE than any of the other civil rights organizations.
