Its our last episode of Black History Month and we're discussing the GREAT Fred Hampton Chairman of the Black Panther Party, Illinois. After watching the recently released film "Judas and The Black Messiah" and the 2 whole hours of rigorous research we do, I have to say this very young man accomplished a lot from age 10 to 21 years old. First Martin, then Malcom, and then Fred Hampton another man who tried to bring the poor and disenfranchised together and up. ENJOY!

Fredrick Allen Hampton (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969) was an American activist, Marxist-Leninist and revolutionary socialist.[4][5] He came to prominence in Chicago as chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP), and deputy chairman of the national BPP. In this capacity, he founded the Rainbow Coalition, a prominent multicultural political organization that initially included the Black Panthers, Young Patriots, and the Young Lords, and an alliance among major Chicago street gangs to help them end infighting and work for social change.

In 1967, Hampton was identified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a radical threat. The FBI tried to subvert his activities in Chicago, sowing disinformation among black progressive groups and placing a counterintelligence operative in the local Panthers.
