...let's tell the real story of Chairman Fred Hampton, a leader in the 1960's Chicago Black Panthers movement. In 1969, Hampton was assassinated by the FBI and Chicago PD.


Hampton was shot while sleeping next to his pregnant wife. 99 bullets were fired into the apartment, only 1 was fired back. Why?
MLK was dead, Malcolm X was dead, but this kid, Hampton, was rallying thousands to the idea of community self reliance.

Recently it was finally proven that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was directly involved in setting up the raid as part of the secret and highly illegal COINTELPRO program.

This month, and every month, let's remember that powerful people are horrified at the thought of us unifying against them, because their murderous con game can only continue as long as we stay divided.

Let's honor those who fought for justice, and continue their fight today. You can read the story on Fred Hampton below, links in comments
