The FBI Oral History Heritage Program started as a pilot project in 2002 and in 2003 became a formal part of The Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI. The Society has collected more than 130 interviews and four written memoirs concerning events dating as far back as the 1930's. For more information, visit their website.
C-SPAN Radio presents the first-ever broadcast of oral history recordings with two former FBI agents who were actively involved in the Bureau's work investigating the Ku Klux Klan in the South during the mid 1960s. James Awe & Jim Ingram worked out of the FBI Jackson, MS office and were actively involved in the investigation into the death of three civil rights workers in 1964, the so-called "Mississippi Burning" case. The recordings are courtesy of the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI, and we'll talk with Brian Hollstein, director of the SFSA oral history project.
