New documents, perhaps, but a very old story. It was clear at least forty years ago that the the FBI murdered my brother Fred Hampton in his bed. The Panthers were a threat because they modeled love and brotherhood as a social model, and the capitalist model deeply needed to keep us separated. Only now is this beginning to change.

However, ballistics experts later determined that only one of those bullets came from the Panthers’ side. In addition, the “bullet holes” in the front door of the apartment, which police pointed to as evidence that the Panthers had been shooting from within the apartment, were actually nail holes created by police in an attempt to cover up the attack.

Damn, Hampton was a visionary!

I read about Fred Hampton's murder as a 14 y.o. girl in the BPP newspaper (my mother regularly received it). The picture of his blood soaked mattress traumatized me. I'll never forget it. The Panthers were my 1st bonafide heroes and the fact of Hampton's mere 21 years of life did not impress me as it does now at nearly 68. To this day i largely credit their rise with the strength i found to begin to speak up and out as i had previously (for some unknown reason) been a clinically shy child while growing up next door in racist Omaha, NE.

Crazy timing, I'm reading Haas' book right now, about half way through.

We knew what it was and who did it the day after it happened...

Love how they get this stuff right 51 years later all the time

I was one of those children who ate those breakfasts. The Black Panthers made my childhood heaven on earth. I lived directly across the street from their Chicago headquarters and spent my every free moment taking it all in. He taught us our history taking us to the DuSable Museum regularly and showing us the African art Picasso copied. We saw pictures of the first and oldest known mathematical instrument created by Africans, we walked through a Black-owned Newspaper, the Chicago Defender, and talked with a Black news reporter. When we were short on money for school trips, the Panthers would give us the money we need. And they weren't racists, they brought in poor whites and told us they were in the same boat as we were, but that didn't last long and one day we couldn't play with them anyone. He said, the one thing that scared the hell out of government was people coming together for a common cause. He taught us so much and it stays with me to this day. May his legacy live on in all of us as we remain mindful to help our brothers and sisters.

They knew he could've been some kind of representative or senator, he would've got a lot of votes.

Thank you for the review DN

we must hope that there are such dedicated and persistent fighters for justice who will take on the rising reactionaries of today

Late justice is injustice

His family needs to sue for damages.

Well I knew this years ago.....just listen to Rage Against the Machine in the 90s

They were far from the first to write/sing about this and other incidents like the MOVE bombing in Philly.

@@jimurrata6785 you’re right. It was just the first time I heard about it was when I was 15 listening to RATM.

Imagine fighting for a country that does stuff like this smh

WE Black folks KNEW this DECADES AGO! The question is, "Just who do WE have to be in order for all to just listen and believe?"

I hate that I'm completely unsuprised

This would be a good time for Biden to show that he really does care about healing past injustices: he can order all of the redacted information disclosed and I hope that he is asked in a public way. Democracy Now! could ask in a very public manner!

I was honored to have met his wife. This man was a genius and we need brothers like him now more then ever. Not idiots like rappers, actors who are sellouts to the established norm. PANTHERS FOREVER!!!

OMG: He was gorgeous. May Sir Fred Hampton Rest In Paradise.and may justice be served for him and his family members.

“We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity.” - Fred Hampton ✊ We must carry on Fred’s legacy of solidarity, not division. We need a new Rainbow Coalition.

Our Father, The Most High's Words Are,( COME OUT FROM THEM, MY PEOPLE.

This story should really have gotten more attention.

How the F*** do we continue to fail at learning from our past. Prosecute every trace of racism to the fullest. Hate is humanities greatest crime. Few other things compare.

You know, since you all are so concerned about the panthers, others are languishing right now. Do the right thing and let them out .

Chairman Fred had the heart of a Lion at 21 years of age. He figured out that unity is the strongest power to battle the beast of hate. I admire how he put his life on the line to go into other rival radicals groups to get unity. Again ...21 years old.

Who gave out the Congressional Floor plan to the current Sedition Gang? Is this why Barr resigned a few weeks early?

Reparations now for ados!!

I'm down with exposing the past... and since it is BHM, how about focusing on the issue that's #1 for Black Americans: REPARATIONS for Slavery. I'll bet you that there won't be ONE story on Reparations during the Entire BHM. Let's see, shall we? Now back to a history lesson which most Black People either already know and or aren't surprised by one bit, Cheers.

I was, 23 years old back then, and i know a lot about, how they were serving, and trying to help their people, and trying to help their people, by any means necessary. I am 77 years old now.

Fred committed no crime, he was a very young man that was helping his community and murdered for it.

Fifty Years Ago!!! Wow....He was Young,Articulate, Powerful!!! How Ironic**** Brenna Taylor Died More Or Less The Same Way...FBI/Police....At That Time and Now...The Same!!! So Much Cover-Ups!!!

Being 11 years old I still remember it like it was yesterday...

I often think of Fred Hampton.

I think of him almost every day. No shit .

“51 years after the incident”.... No it’s 51 years after the assassination.. If the wording starts off wrong, then everything stands a chance of being wrong.

Nixon was involved

The same story as with Malcolm X, MLK.! The more things change, the more they remain the same.

What ever happened to the cops and command structure that took part in this murder?
