  • In January 2015, an open letter dated 28 December 2014 and addressed to Attorney General Eric Holder was reproduced on a number of web sites, attributed to a former FBI special agent named K. Dee McCown. The letter in question (usually described as epic) was typically presented with no context or sourcing information indicating how it made its way to the Internet. The letter, reproduced below in its entirety, focuses on a number of recent race-related controversies: Since its initial appearance, the letter attributed to K. Dee McCown has circulated widely on social media sites and blogs. Dee McCown did serve as an FBI special agent between 1997 and 2008, and when we contacted him to verify his authorship, he responded: I in fact wrote the letter and stand by every word. It's time to stand up and speak truth to power. Thanks for checking. (en)
