Abstract
Despite publishing a brief summary of Jean Seberg’s life on their website, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) denied ever holding internal discussions about [1] Jean Seberg’s membership with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); [2] Jean Seberg’s charitable donations to the NAACP and the Black Panther Party; [3] the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wiretap of Jean Seberg; [4] the mental health impact of wiretap on Jean Seberg; [5] the mental health impact of libelous articles (published by the Los Angeles Times and Newsweek) on Jean Seberg; [6] the circumstances surrounding the suspicious death of Jean Seberg when she was only 40 years old; [7] the performance of Kristen Stewart in the 2019 movie entitled: “Seberg.”
The Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) does find it odd that the NEH would publish a summary of Jean Seberg's biography on their website without internally discussing the matter among themselves. The AACL also finds it strange that the NEH would publish a summary of Jean Seberg's biography without contacting [1] the non-profit organizations they say she was close to; [2] the Department of Justice (DOJ) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who they say were responsible for her wiretap; [3] the Los Angeles Times and other news outlets that have gone on to (i) smear her good name, (ii) adversely impact her mental health, (iii) make being an anti-racist seem as if it was a "bad thing."
It is the judgment of the AACL that the processing of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, which was assigned by the NEH Case No.: 22 - 26 was very bizarre. Even though the NEH say that they [1] are an independent federal agency created in 1965; [2] are responsible for the processing of application of grants submitted to them by museums, archives, libraries, colleges, universities, public television, radio stations, individual scholars etc; [3] have defined the term "humanities" as "the study and interpretations of language, linguistics, literature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, archaeology, comparative religion, ethics, etc;" the AACL was unable to independently confirm this. It is the opinion of the AACL that the NEH processing of the FOIA request they have assigned Case No.: 22 - 26 further undermined public confidence in the mission of their agency. The AACL deeply regrets the NEH processing of the FOIA Request assigned Case No.: 22 - 26 as much as it regrets the processing of the FOIA appeal assigned Case No.: 22 - A - 01.
Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.
