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.
