Remove J. Edgar Hoover's name from both the present and future F.B.I. buildings. #removehooversname

Created by M.G. on January 13, 2015

In the year 2015, I don't think much needs to be written here to justify the removal of Hoover's name from a Federal building. History is clear as to his nefarious, paranoid and illegal activities. Though some in this time of terrorism, and therefore fear, may still think that the ends justify the means, hopefully, the majority of Americans do not. Be it how J. Edgar Hoover sided with Senator Joseph McCarthy's witchhunt against fine Americans, how he tried to intimidate President Kennedy (and other Presidents) or how he harassed Martin Luther King, Jr., among SO many other transgressions, it is FAR past time to #removehooversname . Hoover should not have such a legacy of honor bestowed upon his name by our federal government.
