Back room at the record shop [graphic]. 6/8/1969. 1 drawing : graphite, India ink, and opaque white over graphite drawing ; sheet 55.8 x 38.2 cm. still image sti rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia sheet nb rdacarrier Caption label from exhibit "Herblock Looks at 1969": Using the metaphor of a record shop, Herblock contrasts the patriotic and law-abiding statements made by long-serving Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) with the unauthorized wiretapping of African American leaders. During boxer Muhammad Ali's trial (b. Cassius Clay, 1942-2016) for refusing military service, government officials admitted they had taped his conversations with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., (1929-1968) and Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975). Ramsey Clark (b. 1927), who had served as President Lyndon Johnson's (1908-1973) Attorney General denied authorizing the wiretapping. Title from item. Signed "Herblock" lower right. Published in the Washington Post, June 8, 1969. Copyright, 1969, by Herblock. Editorial cartoon shows an open door to a back room in a record shop where a man sitting at a desk is listening to audio recordings labeled "Illegal F.B.I. Wiretaps." Behind him are file cabinets filled with unauthorized wiretappings of prominent African American leaders labeled, "4 years of phone taps on Elijah Muhammad", "Private phone conversations of Martin Luther King, Jr.", and "Cassius Clay tapes." Blasting from a speaker inside the store is a record playing "Law and Order Statements and other trumpet pieces by J. Edgar Hoover." Publication may be restricted.
