Art:  Ricardo Levins Morales

A powerful tribute to Fred Hampton (1948-1969) this dynamic young Black Panther Party leader who was murdered as part of government efforts to repress the last Black rebellion in 1969. Hampton was renowned for forging broad, multiracial coalitions in Chicago before he was killed. He and fellow Panther Mark Clark were both shot in the head at close range while unconscious in bed.
