James Edward Amos (January 29, 1879 – December 15, 1953) was a bodyguard and attendant to U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and later became the longest serving African American Federal Bureau of Investigation agent in the pre-modern FBI. He paved the way for future African American FBI agents in a time when not many worked for the federal government.[2]
