Fred Hampton: Judas and the Black Messiah


Listen Later

Black Panther leader, Fred Hampton's, downfall was one that shook the party in the 1960s. How William O'Neal infiltrated the Party in Chicago from FBI funding was absolutely astonishing on so many fronts. Donna & Jonathan dissect Judas and the Black Messiah, the movie based on this historical event, bringing in clarifying facts and speak more on the overall mission of the Black Panther Party. 

Did you know how many people infiltrated the organization? Where would we be on social justice issues if Fred Hampton were still alive today?
