Description
This twelve-page document includes FBI memoranda related to Congressman Moakley’s inquisitions into FBI investigations of two racially-motivated attacks on black men. The first two pages, dated October 9, 1974, refer to the beating of Andre Yvon Jean-Louis, a Haitian immigrant, by a group of men in South Boston. The remaining pages include reports dated April 15, April 14, and April 8, all of 1976 (they appear in reverse chronological order), relating to the beating of black attorney Theodore Landsmark by a group of white youths on City Hall Plaza. Also included in the second group of reports is a copy of an April 6, 1976, letter to FBI director Clarence Kelley from Congressman Moakley, in which he asks that the FBI “pursue vigorously an investigation into this matter [the Landsmark attack] to determine what steps the federal government can take to deter those who would wrongly believe that such attacks will be tolerated…”
