Happy birthday to activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton.

He was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old.

William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300.

We’re highlighting one of our youth artists, Jimena Sanchez, from our Spring 2022 In Bloom Internship!

During this program, our interns created their own narratives using various visual art mediums such as painting and print making!

Check out some of Jimena’s work below!
