We recorded this episode just over a week after the anniversary of the death of the liberation activist and revolutionary leader Fred Hampton. 55 years ago, at the age of 21 years, Hampton was murdered while he slept by members of the Chicago police department. His killing was the culmination of years of harassment by Chicago police and surveillance by the FBI.

Craig Ciccone is an independent researcher who has been studying the events surrounding Fred Hampton’s murder. In the process, he’s collected an astounding number of FBI documents.

We get into Hampton's legacy, his harassment by the Chicago police and the FBI (part of COINTELPRO), and how they eventually planned and carried out his murder.
