Declassified NSA files show agency spied on Muhammad Ali and MLK

The National Security Agency secretly tapped into the overseas phone calls of prominent critics of the Vietnam War, including Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali and two actively serving US senators, newly declassified material has revealed.

Absolutely nothing new about this information. Anyone who's read the FBI files on MLK and Malcolm X and the multi-volume work on Marcus Garvey knows this already. Only folks who have recently "discovered" what the government has been up to in general and to black folks in particular would think this "new".

And certainly those in the movement(s) knew they were being recorded and watched (among other things).
