pickledhappiness: When Elaine Brown was considering leaving the Black Panther Party, David Hilliard took her to Chicago to hear Fred Hampton speak. Just weeks later Hampton was murdered by the FBI and local police as part of the FBI’s campaign to "prevent the rise of a ‘messiah’ who could unify and electrify the militant black nationalist movement.” From A Taste of Power: A Black Woman’s Story. Fred Hampton was assassinated 44 years ago today, on December 4, 1969, by the government of the United States. -- source link
