                <text>This is a collection on CORE from the 1950's. Among other things, it points to one of the good things about the FBI's surveillance of CORE - because the FBI went to great lengths to collect and preserve CORE flyers, pamphlets, letters and literature as part of its investigation, the FBI's files on CORE serve as an archive of sorts when it comes to CORE"s history. For example, the pamphlet, 'A First Step Towards Integration by Anna Holden (of Nashville CORE) is included in this collection.&#13;

                <text>This is a collection of FBI documents from 1960 pertaining to CORE. It speaks to the Bureau's increasing concern (as well as that of  the general public including a U.S. Congressman) with the possibility of CORE being infiltrated by the Communist Party (CPUSA). Interestingly, the FBI stated it saw no overall evidence that such infiltration was taking place but as later documents will demonstrate, the FBI's investigation of CORE in connection with CPUSA would only increase. Historians have suggested this speaks to the fact that communism was never the issue but race was.&#13;

   The majority of documents have to do with the attacks at Birmingham and Montgomery, the aftermath of the bus burning at Anniston and the bomb threats against the riders at Xavier University in New Orleans that followed.&#13;

                <text>This is a collection of FBI documents pertaining to San Francisco. They come from the Federal Surveillance of African Americans 1920-1984 database. &#13;
   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&#13;
&#13;
The first set of documents are from 1961. They are part of the COINTELPRO program against the Communist Party (CPUSA).&#13;
 They report that according to an informant two leading members of CPUSA were trying to start a CORE chapter &#13;
  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.&#13;
   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. &#13;
&#13;
 The second set of documents are from 1964. The chapter was then by Bill Bradley.&#13;
   At issue is an upcoming convention for  an ‘action based socialist youth organization’ and plans by San Francisco CORE to demonstrate against the President. &#13;
  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. &#13;
   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.  &#13;
  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.&#13;
  The reports make clear the FBI believed these articles and the politicians statements were a direct result of its ‘counterintelligence activity’. &#13;
&#13;
  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.&#13;
