Violence in Chicago is no accident. Remember Fred Hampton?


On 4 December 1969, US government agents assassinated Black Panther Party member, Chairman Fred Hampton, while he was sleeping in his bed. Hampton's crime? Chairman Hampton was a master organizer. He unified the local gangs and the oppressed people of Chicago into what he called a multi-racial "Rainbow Coalition" (Jesse Jackson would later co-opt the term). 




Black-on-black violence in Chicago is no accident. THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT AFRICAN AMERICANS ORGANIZED! THEY WILL KILL YOU IF NECESSARY. 


Hampton's pregnant wife was also shot. She survived. Their son, Fred Hampton Jr., is political activist in the Chicago area. Below are videos of Fred Hampton and Fred Hampton Jr.
