Black History Month Film Showing "The Murder of Fred Hampton"

The Black Panther Party galvanized millions of African Americans against police repression and brutality, upholding the right of armed self-defense. In response, the government launched a campaign of murder, jailings and disinformation to destroy the BPP.

Hampton was one of the most charismatic and effective Panther leaders. The film follows the 1969 murder of 21-year-old Illinois chapter chairperson Fred Hampton by Chicago police and the subsequent investigation, and includes rare footage of Hampton’s public speeches and highlights the social programs he led.
