Black Panther Party deputy chairman Fred Hampton was drugged by the FBI then assassinated by local police on this day 56 years ago.
He was only 21 years old.
Listen to his words and see if you can discern why he would be their target.
"Socialism is the people. If you're afraid of socialism, you're afraid of yourself."
56 years ago today, Black Panther leader and revolutionary Fred Hampton was assassinated in his bed by Chicago police. He was 21 years old.
Raised in a working class, racially segregated neighborhood of Chicago, Hampton became radicalized in college during the Civil Rights Movement. As Chairman of the Chicago BPP, he helped to develop and lead community programs such as the free breakfast for children program and health clinics. He’s often remembered for his efforts to build multinational unity between Black and other oppressed communities and
movements.
Fred Hampton taught us that the future we want to see — free of capitalist exploitation and white supremacy — will only come if we fight for it.
When Donald Glover spoke about his stroke and discovery of a hole in his heart to his audience at a live show he said "Everyone has two lives. The second life begins when you discover you only have one." Damn. That's powerful.
"Why aren't you into ball games"-...catching,handling,passing, throwing balls...-Nah fam... I'm into rather-throwing fists, kicks, grappling shit, I respect athleticism-Cleveland boy ;( but personally want my family to know self defense so stop asking me about sports with balls.
Lmao try to call them, but they don't answer even though they just saw your social media story minutes before. What Happened to a simple "I am busy at the moment, I'll hit you up later" rather than going days with no response?
Bro...I know folks be staying on their phones, you hit them up about one thing...they respond fast. And then y'all hit em about second thing when it gets serious...they wanna act like they didn't post a story on social media hours (if not a day) before responding to you... bruh.
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it. https://t.co/gOjqFnGv0I
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN
You know you are officially an adult when you have nightmares about going to the grocery and picking up the items you forgot to pick up the day before this dream.
And the nightmare consists of you going to the store just to find out your missing items are missing from there too.
Now would you go back in time two Decades, living in 2005 with the same age and knowledge you have now in the present(2025)?
Two decades of life older than you were in 2005 possessing knowledge of your present self in 2025.
Would you go back in time a decade and live in 2015 with the same age and knowledge you have now in the present(2025)?
Meaning you lose 10 years of your life but you are able to potentially change your life course and wealth along with people you know being the same present age
