2019 marked 100 years of African-American FBI special agents. This year, we shared stories from agents past & present to honor their service. 2019 is almost over, but we'll continue to celebrate our history through the coming years. #OurHistoryOurService ow.ly/yJ6650xFv0O
Retired Special Agent Michael Mason reflected on 100 years of African-American special agents: "I think of this as my country, and if we want to make it a better place, we have to do that from the frontlines, and so I wanted to be a part of that." #OurHistoryOurService
Retired Special Agent Jacques Battiste shared his thoughts on the 100th anniversary celebration: "To … know that I play a part of a legacy that began in 1919 ... I'm honored. I'm truly honored to the very core of my being." #OurHistoryOurService

The #FBI’s December #ArtifactoftheMonth is an Eyemo, a 35mm film camera similar to the one used to conduct surveillance on the Duquesne Spy Ring. Special agents used cameras like this one to film a series of meetings between double agent William Sebold and Nazis. #History
The German Secret Service persuaded Sebold, a German-American, to spy on the U.S., but Sebold ultimately served as a double agent for the U.S. He met with Nazis in a bogus office that had hidden microphones and a two-way mirror that enabled the U.S. to secretly film the meetings. Image
Special Agent James E. Amos, one of the #FBI’s first African-American special agents, shadowed ringleader Frederick Joubert Duquesne during the FBI's investigation and helped bring the Duquesne Spy Ring to justice. #OurHistoryOurService Image
