Fred Hampton, leader of the Black Panther party in Chicago, would have been 77 today. Instead, he was murdered by the FBI and the Chicago police at age 21. RIP, Chairman Fred.

August, like the month @month-of-august.bsky.social

His story involves an all to real conspiracy: COINTELPRO. Jeffrey Haas's book "The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther" outlines the US government targeting progressive leaders, particularly Black, to discredit them.
