Crazy he was around 20 years old...

What's your average 20 year old doing these days?:mjpls:


Your average 20 year old doesn't even know who Fred Hampton is.

Thanks for posting this video. Hampton was an amazing organizer. He was already trying to direct people to focus in on the class issues that were underlying the race issues. Do you know when this video was made?

It's from the documentary The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971). Here mistitled.


He was also featured in a segment of Eyes On The Prize which aired in 1990.

Somehow in the 80s and 90 we forgot about all this shyt as a group. Now we are starting to think again about our position in the usa.

Its nuts how young all those dudes were.. even malcom and mlk were popping off in their 20s

Fred Hampton was for power to all people,the fact he wasn't about division and keeping black people and white people hating each other made him an even bigger target....they definitely want to keep us mad at each other,i should probably try to stop being angry at cacs for the simple reason im giving in to what those in power want the people to do....but I cant help it,cacs keep finding new ways to piss me off:scust:.
