The Subterranean Secrets of Denton, Texas

This book, featuring the photojournalist's work, included many images from the civil rights movement and documented the relocation and stripping of property from Japanese Canadians during World War II. The speaker highly recommended it.

But he was a Canadian, a Japanese Canadian, who went through the exact same thing there in Canada, where Japanese Canadians were also relocated and stripped of property and put in these sort of, you know, siloed areas, these ghettos, kind of. And I had no idea that that was going on there. I didn't know that. Yeah. Really, really interesting. I brought his book. It's a book of his work, which includes a lot of images from that time and also from the civil rights stuff called Enemy Alien. Highly recommend it. Tameo Wakayama.

A Spy in Canaan, how the FBI used a famous photographer to infiltrate the civil rights movement.

It's fascinating to imagine him inside Martin Luther King's hotel room. There's a picture of MLK sitting on the bed holding up newspaper and just imagine Ernest being in there and just that close with him at all times.

I don't think anything he did for the FBI eclipses the good that he did for the movement. His pictures are just overwhelming and very powerful and they were powerful in their time and they are now.

Honestly, the three of us have read A Spy in Canaan by Mark Pereschia and honestly would highly recommend it because the events in the book actually paint such a vivid story of surveillance by the FBI on people who are just trying to express themselves with our constitutional rights.

I think it's an incredibly timely book, you know, with what's going on right now. I think it's a really fascinating read and can't recommend it highly enough.

"

And you, sir, have a quite amazing thing going in your new book, A Spy in Canaan, how the FBI used a famous photographer to infiltrate the civil rights movement.

It all started back in 1997 when I was covering James Earl Ray's hearings at that time.

And it was in exploring these stories that I started interviewing former police officers in Memphis, former FBI men, military intelligence.

It was only years later after Ernest died that I filed a Freedom of Information Act request and in the process of getting records back, I found that the FBI had left his code number ME338R, which is a unique identifier.

And that led to this mediated settlement where we got all these records, you know, that really spelled out what he did over the course of 18 years and is the foundation for the book.
