A coalition of more than 40 racial justice and civil liberties groups have called on the Department of Homeland Security to release a secret memo about governmental efforts to monitor black activist groups and what the FBI calls “black identity extremists.” The memo is known internally as simply the “Race Paper.” A redacted version of the memo was released in 2016, but the government blacked out the entire document. In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, the civil rights groups wrote, “We are concerned that biases and inaccuracies reflected in the 'Race Paper' could result in unconstitutional law enforcement activities throughout the country that disproportionately impact activists, protesters, and communities of color.”
