American Spooks: Agent 800 - The Ordered Invitation

AGENT 800 AUDIO DRAMA PILOT: James Wormley Jones, a light-skinned, African American detective in the Washington, D.C. police department, is deeply disillusioned with his treatment on the force and struggling to reconcile his identity as a black man living in a white world whose skin color allows him to effortlessly exist in both. Following the investigation of a bombing by communist terrorists, Jones encounters John E. Amos, an African American working for the government who offers him the opportunity to ‘make a difference.’ Amos convinces Jones to prove himself a patriot and join the Radical Division of A. Mitchell Palmer’s Bureau of Investigation, led by an ambitious 24-year-old J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover immediately assigns Jones to infiltrate the United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) led by Marcus Garvey, whom Hoover has decided is a threat to national security.
