Shelved at Rockville, Room A, General Ephemera Part 2. The speech by Mr. Hoover is primarily concerned with anti-Communism and what the FBI Director asserts as core American values. Written and delivered at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Hoover addresses what he characterizes as Communist infiltration of both US academic institutions and the Civil Rights Movement: "The Communists look upon students as potential sympathizers, supporters and contributors to the Party's cause.
