October Program: Betty Medsger at the Winchester Public Library
The Winchester Historical Society and the Friends of the Library
Present their 5th Annual Collaborative Program:
The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover’s Secret FBI
by Betty Medsger, investigative reporter and photographer
Tuesday, October 7, 2014 at 7:00 pm
Winchester Public Library
The never-before-told story of the history-changing break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, by a group of unlikely activists—quiet, ordinary, hardworking Americans—that made clear the shocking truth and confirmed what some had long suspected, that J. Edgar Hoover had created and was operating, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, his own shadow Bureau of Investigation.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Winchester Public Library, the John & Mary Murphy Educational Foundation and the Winchester Historical Society.
