SYNCHRONICITY?
In Sam Greenlee's 1969, James-Bond-in-blackface novel, The Spook Who Sat by the Door, a rogue black CIA agent trains black inner city gang members in guerilla tactics to lead a violent resistance against The Man.

In Spook, the hero, "Freeman" (get it?), the first black CIA agent, organizes black youth gangs in all of America's cities, whom he leads in a bloody, racial revolution.
--The novel's protagonist and hero is a super-square yuppy, Ivy-league trained, black spy, who just happens to have also been the first black CIA Agent. His job as a spy was to monitor community-based radicals from a non-profit CIA storefront in an inner city black Chicago neighborhood. However, the whole time the CIA thought he was spying on community radicals, he was in fact actually assuming the role of a double agent training and helping to foment black revolutionary aims in the inner city.
Officially Sam Greenlee was an employee of the US govt during the tensest part of the Cold War, working for the U.S. Information Agency(USIA), part of the State Department. Between 1957 and 1965, Greenlee held assignments in Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Greece. It should be noted that CIA agents often used other government agencies as a cover, and the USIA was especially notorious for that. Is Greenlee intimating his real job as a CIA agent, and is he telling us about an actual CIA operation involved in recruiting black radical elements? Were the Zebra killers recruited and trained in this fashion? Certainly many researchers believe that violent black-led groups like the US Organization and the Symbionese Liberation Army were wholly creations of the covert operators.
The book was made into a movie released in 1973, available here:

It appears the film was repressed at the time, and was unavailable until recently. The director and actors involved were also apparently blackballed from the industry for many years.

"The Spook Who Sat by the Door" was mysteriously removed from distribution, and spent decades of obscurity in which the only available video copies were bootlegs.
The FBI, at least, took it seriously:

The author, Sam Greenlee, was told by Aubrey Lewis (19352001), one of the first Black FBI agents recruited to the Bureau in 1962, that The Spook Who Sat by the Door was required reading at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
