At each of seven events commemorating the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Black Panther leaders Chairman Fred Hampton and Defense Captain Mark Clark, Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. will bring to life the legend of his father, who, at age 21, had organized the nation's largest chapter of the Black Panther Party and the original "rainbow coalition" and was perceived as such a threat to the government that on Dec. 4, 1969, his home was raided at 4 a.m. by the FBI and Chicago police, who shot him dead in his bed as he lay sleeping beside his wife, Akua Njeri, who would give birth to their son, Fred Jr., on Dec. 29.
