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
Special Agent Jermicha Fomby reflected on 100 years of African-American special agents: "It makes me realize that there's no excuse for me not to continue to push forward." #OurHistoryOurService
