Table III. Other Related Violence in the Civil Rights Era
1= Malcolm X was undoubtedly killed by members of the Nation of Islam. However, the surveillance he was under by the federal government for his support of African-Americans' basic rights make it possible that the government played a role in at least facilitating his death in working with the Nation of Islam. Hoover's FBI was not definitively on the side of the Civil Rights Movement, to put it mildly, throughout the 1950's and 1960's.
2 = She was shot while "allegedly trying to dynamite the home of a Jewish businessman," and was a Ku Klux Klan member. Another Klan member shot a police officer and a bystander during this engagement.
3 = For the purposes of these tables I will not assume that police are either against or for Civil Rights as it most likely varies from case-to-case. Where the context shows that the police were likely acting in concert with anti-Civil Rights groups, the violence will be labeled accordingly, but where there are more murky circumstances they will be viewed neutrally.
