Wildcat Will Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Genealogy Records May Indicate that J. Edgar Hoover Was African-American WAS FOUNDING FBI DIRECTOR J. EDGAR HOOVER AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN? BY NICOLE MARIE MELTON · UPDATED OCTOBER 28, 2020 Nearly 40 years after the death of founding FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, research may reveal that the crime fighting bureau chief was actually African-American according to “The Washington Post.” “My grandfather told me that this powerful man, Edgar, was his second cousin, and was passing for white,” says Millie McGhee, an African-American relative of Hoover’s. “If we talked about this, [Edgar] was so powerful he could have us all killed. I grew up terrified about all this.” McGhee began to uncover facts about the possibility of Hoover’s Black ethnicity after she dug through altered court records, conducted oral interviews with both white and Black Hoovers and enlisted licensed genealogists who determined that Hoover was indeed a relative of hers. The mystery of Hoover’s genealogy has become a topic of interest recently due to the the Clint Eastwood film “J. Edgar” released earlier this month. In the film, Eastwood makes no mention of Hoover’s race, much to the chagrin of his Black relatives such as McGhee. “Since the movie has come out, so many people have asked me why my information about Hoover’s black roots was not included,” said McGhee who has authored two books on the topic, “Secrets Uncovered: J.Edgar Hoover-The Relative” and “Secrets Uncovered : J. Edgar Hoover Passing For White?” Do you think McGhee’s research on J. Edgar Hoover’s genealogy should have been included in Eastwood’s film? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't doubt it he was raised to hate black people so he would see it as a miracle to be able to pass off a white. There are pictures of him where he does look mixed. Can't take the idiots on here serious they talk down on jussie smollett and love to throw out his blackness and play blind deaf and dumb to the fact he is also white.

That is a fact that was hidden from the general public. There were questions as he had a certain protege that was like a shadow. It is said he had some pretty dresses.
