"There's sort of an uneasy feeling associated with her." When I first heard her story, I tried to learn more about her. In the few articles I could find at that time, I was struck by that uneasiness. Even Obama once mentioned her in a speech as "a housewife from Detroit" without using her name. It has always felt like her very name was tainted and that was all Hoover's doing.
