Grand Sheik Frederick Turner-El SCLC FBI file records

In 2015, the FBI released online its file on the SCLC.

Surprisingly, the file contains a few references to MSTA leader Grand Sheik Frederick Turner-El, who was briefly investigated by the FBI in the mid-1960s after he called up the SCLC and expressed his concern over a 'great slur' being used on Martin Luther King, Jr. The short investigation reveals small details in Turner-El's interesting life. Perhaps the most important piece of new data in this document is the revelation that Turner-El may have possibly traveled with his missionary mother for eight years (1920- ca. 1927) in the Middle East.

I have collected the pages on GSFTE and put them online to download here.
