"Undercover Brother: Why Are Some Blacks Afraid to Be
Black?"
When author Sam Greenlee wrote his powerful yet
controversial novel, “The Spook Who Sat By the Door” in
1969, he was drawing on years of experience as one of
the first Black officers in the United States
Intelligence Agency, a position that would take him all
around the world. The novel tells the story of a Black
man, Dan Freeman, who takes advantage of the new
“affirmative action” policy of the CIA to apply for a
position as an agent. Passing their strict training
program to become the agency’s “token” Black operative,
Freeman takes all of their information and specialized
training to create an army of Black nationalist freedom
fighters in a well-orchestrated and executed plan to
free Blacks from racism in this country. Greenlee’s
novel was rejected by more than forty publishers before
a British publisher finally agreed to print it. In 1973,
Greenlee produced the book as a film and it was an
overnight success, but just as quickly it was pulled
from distribution due to its “politically controversial
message.”
