James Forman, 1961-1976
Scope and Contents
These FBI files involve direct investigations of James Forman and include a handwritten summary of the report marking instances and facts, file and page numbers. According to the summary, which is written in third person, the FBI released the redacted James Forman files in 1978, covering the years 1961 to 1976, “when the subject’s activities were no longer considered to be a threat to the internal security to the United States.” The files appear to have been independently organized into two “sets” with each “set” marked in pencil, and each individual “file” assigned a number 1-15. In addition, each page is numbered in pencil in the lower right corner.
