Old J.Edgar must be looking up from Hades in shock, and awe. A giant advert for his beloved secret police, aka the FBI with a nice Colored lady on it. Wow for an aging boomer this is a serious statement.
Sure anybody under 50 wouldn't look twice at this,..unless they was thinking of signing up. However for us Jim Crow, Cold War babies this is revolutionary stuff.
Not just that they're now letting us Colored into J. Edgar's army, but they're putting up giant posters in Herald Square proudly announcing it.
See back in the day The FBI was a white boy only far rightwing political police. Now they're just cops like they were supposed to be all along.
That's what I love about this saloon brawl we call America. Slow halfhearted progress, and mean spirited, dishonest compromise. Still after a fashion it seems to work,...for some.
Hummm, maybe I'll join up too.

J. Edgar's ghost is probably jealous of her dress. I bet he'd like to try it on with sequins, high heels and gold lamé for trim.
Special agent? HA! Who needs more FBI probing deeper up our ass?
