Aretha Franklin was surveilled by the FBI for 40 years.

“Based on the agency’s admissions, Franklin never did anything wrong. … The FBI’s racist surveillance of Black people never stopped.”

@civicDetroitDan Aretha Franklin, another giant. Love the John Lewis quote, "If it hadn't been for Aretha ... the Civil Rights Movement would have been a bird without wings." The FBI should be deeply, deeply ashamed.
