Comedian and activist Dick Gregory gained fame in the early 1960s for his edgy material about race. His on- and off-stage support of black liberation did not sit well with the FBI. In this 1968 memo, they effectively suggest setting up a mob hit on him

(RICHARD CLAXTON GREGORY)
ReBulet 4/23/68
Chicago airtel and LBH dated 5/2/68 and captioned "Richard Claxton Gregory" concern a speech by Gregory on 4/28/68 where he noted that "Syndicate hoods are living all over. They are the filthiest snakes that exist on this earth." Referenced Bulet instructed you to develop counterintelligence action concerning militant black nationalist Dick Gregory.
Consider the use of this statement in developing a counterintelligence operation to alert La Cosa Nostra (LCN) to Gregory's attack on LCN. It is noted that other speeches by Gregory also contain attacks on LCN. No counterintelligence action should be taken without Bureau authority.
