M.A.Jones to DeLoach Memo RE: Howard Zinn which is to be expected from an individual of Zinn's background. He was also critical of the FBI in this report, stating that in November, 1961, Negroes had been ordered from a white waiting room of an Albany bus station, that this matter had been reported to the FBI and "there was no apparent result.'' Another incident related in this report dealt with lack of FBI action in December, 1961, when a number of persons were arrested by Albany authorities. It is to be noted that the 11-25-62 issue of 'The Worker" makes reference to Zinn's recent SRC report concerning the Albany racial situation. It reports that Zinn lashed out at the FBI because of its inaction in relation to various violations of civil rights of Negroes in that city. Files indicate that Zinn has been active in protesting policies of this country concerning Cuba. It was reported that Zinn was one of a group of about 20 racially mixed individuals who walked the picket line in Atlanta on 10-24-62 and held a meeting protesting the President's decision concerning the quarantine of Cuba. Also identified in this group were three Security Index subjects, Dorothy Miller, Atlanta, Harry C. Steinmetz, San Diego, and Herbert Shapiro, , Rochester, New York, all Communist Party members.
