WHY THE FBI MURDERED FRED HAMPTON
Fred Hampton - assassinated December 4, 1969 - is the true definition of an African revolutionary. He rose to prominence in Chicago as deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party. He also later created the anti-racist, anti-classist multicultural political organisation known as the Rainbow Coalition.
A Marxist–Leninist, Hampton considered fascism the greatest threat: "Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all." A charismatic orator and true grassroots leader, his community work was identified as a radical threat by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In 1969, The FBI led an operation to assassinate him - he was drugged, shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment. A civil lawsuit was later filed on behalf of the survivors and Fred's relatives.
His legacy remains influential with multiple movies and documentaries about him - the latest being a Hollywood production staring Daniel Kaluyya: Judah and the Black Messiah.
