On December 4th, 1969, the Black Panther Party’s Illinois Chairman Fred Hampton was murdered by police. But his story is about much more than the raid that took his life. The movement Hampton helped create was unique, and revolutionary.
In the late 1960s, Fred Hampton helped lead a coalition of activists, working across racial lines against a corrupt city government that threatened their communities. At the core of their work were social programs, including free breakfasts, health clinics, and legal aid. Hampton named the group the Rainbow Coalition. And because of their impact, it wasn’t long before they got the attention of the police and the FBI. What followed was an assassination, and a coverup.

Also, neither one of the things you said are common occurrences.
The 2nd amendment isn't for the government. Why would they need it? Now imagine a bunch of white supremacists formed an armed militia. That's what the Black Panthers are.
There is no need to imagine... there are already plenty of white supremacists armed militias... Are you living under a rock? You know that the majority of domestic terrorism is committed by white supremacists against minorities?
Why would terrorist groups be allowed freedom?
The Black Panther Party has to be one of the most misrepresented and underrated organisations in American history
@Thato Mogale it is and was, but the modern day variation is a far cry from the organization my Uncles and older cousins were a part of.
Aah yes, the very party that physically tortured their own members and raided a government building with guns

I Gotta give my respect to my English Teacher who fought the school's curriculum to teach us about the death of Fred Hampton when I was in the 11th grade.
What about the death of George Lincoln Rockwell?
Good on your teacher!
And I’m glad that this video recognized the anti-capitalist point of view that the party strongly held but yet seems to slip from the story telling of most movies and videos about the Panthers.
in English? wouldnt that be more of an American History thing?
@@Kaotix_music it was a homework after we read Malcolm X book, none of my history teachers taught us that.
I took a Black Power Movement class and we learned about the BPP and I swear it just made me angrier. The BPP was not a threat but was only deemed as a threat bc they did something that scared the US, which was unite oppressed groups together. Imagine what the rainbow coalition could’ve been today had Fred not been killed. The U.S thrives off of division because it makes it easier to control certain groups. That’s why things such as racism and classism exist.
There were good points and bad points about the bpp. They definitely weren't saints like this video seems to make out

No history book told us this, but our parents did. Every single part. We all know this story very well in my culture and community. But our parents were called liars, terrorists etc. Many of us have relatives that were Black Panthers. We do know these stories and events.
I loved the way this video was done. The true narrative. Not the spun one.
Thank you for this 🙏🏾❤️
who says they told you the truth most Radicals lie and deny reality
it says a lot when people support a black power, black nationalist, segregation supporting party that also supported north korea. replace black with white in any of those and people would see a huge issue in it.
just like with malcolm x, anyone that puts black people first is seen as a hero, when if they got what they truly wanted, discrimination would still exist, just with them at the top
if they want segregation, they should go to africa, it's already segregated and they support segregation there
in the end, people don't actually care about segregation, they just don't want white people to have their own things
@@MickeyMouse-lm6zj You have it twisted, friend. We just want equality

not to mention that schools never mention it, america white washing its history of violence and injustice as usual
You should watch Judas and the Black Messiah. It’s about Fred Hampton and his activism.
It's not the government as a whole: It's that there are people within the government who are willing to subvert whoever & whatever they can to keep the gravy train running for themselves. They know to cloak their true intentions enough to convince people to give them authority to propose & do things under the guise of, "It's us or them," & letting you think you're included in the "us" so you will turn a blind eye, but you're really included in the "them".
Why do they go out of their way to do that? ☹️
@@mjr697 because we're special. We just don't realize it as a whole. There's something in us. Something that the enemy admires but hates that we possess. But instead of carring about the enemy. We need to go back to loving eachother.
I’m 19 years old rn. I’m born and raised in Dallas TX and I NEVER IN MY LIFE was taught about Fred Hampton and the impact he had on our society. It’s such a shame and injustice how he was done. He’s quickly jumped on the list of people I deeply admire and respect.

Same here, imagine all the other things we don’t know about
“…One thing about the men that's controlling the pen
That write history, they always seem to white-out they sins
Maybe we'll never see a black man in the White House again..” - Brackets - J.Cole
Not to be funny but where you were raised, in the US south is a huge part of why it wasn't taught... Glad you are learning now. Don't Stop Here ❤️
Yeah I'm a social studies teacher in Texas
As much as I wanted to teach this, the school district won't allow it
This really should be in American history, especially for high school kids as Chairman Fred was only 21 at the height of his power

Well they were domestic terrorist similar to antifa/blm today
@@tacomonkey222 imagine watching this video and knowing what happened only to call Fred Hampton a terrorist. You're ludicrous.
@Jord The Canadian A deliberately underfunded school system, no doubt. We learn a watered down, Disney-version of the Civil Rights movement that's often brushed through quickly. Time is taken to give ourselves a pat on the back "because we're over it," and then it's time for the next chapter.
@White lives matter straight man Awww... I'm glad he made you feel inferior.
It’s sickening how many ppl didn’t know about this until the movie came out. This is American history! This man was a true leader. Hoover hated this man soo much he had him killed. My dad was a black Panther and told me this history when I was younger and I always felt a way about this story. Let’s you know that peace isn’t apart of the agenda in this nation
Yes its true
This breaks my heart. I educate myself on our history, but geez I cry every time. All we wanted was to be able to live a life like everyone else. What happened to the black panthers after the 80s?
Government persecuted or killed any public identifying members claiming they were extremists. They were scared of black folk standing up for themselves
They're still around actually lol
They were destabilized from CIA interventions and also internal disagreements. A lot of black panther defense groups initially meant to protect black communities from police brutality unfortunately seeded a lot of gangs and gang culture in black communities.
COINTELPRO used under cover operatives to disband the original groups to water them down to a controllable level having informants inside most if not all chapters.
It’s always sad looking into the history but I’m empowered
We don’t know the half of what is done by the government to the people. Thank you for highlighting this issue.

Remember the only time when the NRA called for gun reform? I do, it was when the Panthers demonstrated with guns. ✊🏽✊🏽
To be as fair as possible to the NRA, they supported gun control laws prior to the rise of the Black Panthers, and in fact explicitly disavowed gun wielding white supremacists during the civil rights era. The also supported gun control laws in the 1930s that prevented mail order guns and restricting the sale of actual machine guns.
@White lives matter straight man hahhahahhahahahaha! Worst hate groups in US history?! You're a robot right? Give me one lynching or assassination perpetrated by BLM. Are you aware of actual hate groups and their activities at all? Nope!
@@DrQuak First of all, the step that they took in 1930s to stop the sale of MGs, SMGs and mail order guns was to sheild the production of handguns from regulation and not some nobel cause, although the move was marketed as if it was to keep it out the hands of 'gangs'. Also the NRA didn't have any form of proper lobbying structure at that time. Now, disavowing white supremacists doesn't hold much water if you mirror white supremacist talking points in order to increase sale to your overwhelmingly white consumer base (a tactic which is used by the people who hold the highest positions in the company till this day.) So no, they hadn't actually pushed for gun reform prior to the rise of the Black Panther Party and their innovative outlook towards the 2nd Amendment.
@@oakinwol bruh no use trying to reason with such creatures... You should talk to David, He's cordial and is atleast having a civil discussion.
@White lives matter straight man name one killing by BLM "terrorists"
Fred Hampton would have been one of the greatest and strongest Black leaders ever. A true Black patriot who loved his people and wanted the BEST for the Black community! Those racist pig cops assassinated him while he was SLEEPING and none of those PIG cops were charged!! State and government sponsored murder! Rest in strength Fred Hampton! Your memory will live on forever!!
i agree he was a very strong leader but you saying “patriot” is hilarious. This man literally was pushing socialism during the Cold War 😂 not to mention he was pro North Korea. Doesn’t sound very patriotic lol god rest his soul tho
@@CursxR0 he was a patriot in the true sense, he supported americans and believed in a united and egalitarian america, he was rightly against the american government
Fred Hampton is a man who used his life efficiently.
Leading by 19, pushing revolutionary ideas in both senses of the word, rising to leader by 21 - and, though dead, that's quite a splash.
I had free breakfast almost every weekday growing up. It was the work of these people that fed me.
I had a sorority sister that used to bring her 1st grade students food after she found one of them in a closet eating a box of chalk.
They were hating on the Panthers because they we feeding the children you see after that they came with they free breakfast & medical murder program!!!
Oh that is wonderful
This is history schools are too afraid to teach, yet it's so important.
*schools. no apostrophe :)
@@iansteelmatheson really dude
@@obtusemooose I mean, they're right. School's is talking about one specific school, schools is talking about all schools in general.
It's not that they're too afraid to teach it - it's that they're not permitted to teach it by the US government. In the US, school syllabus is highly controlled and monitored by the government due to its dark history(and present). The more Americans that know the real truth about their own history the less patriots, which means less enrollment in the military. For such a warlike and militarised nation, this cannot do. It's the same with all imperialist countries like Britain and France. Education in these countries is highly selective, controlled and streamlined.
In the US i guess
This decade and the history of the Black Panthers I have found interesting. At 21, Fred Hampton was a threat to the U.S. government. They realized he was that powerful. I would recommend reading the autobiography of Assata Shakur. Even though I am not a black woman, I found myself identifying a lot with what she wrote. Very Powerful.
I mean he had an armed militia roaming the streets of cali. No one’s done that since the revolutionary war days
@@CursxR0 we should do it again 😁
@@CursxR0 I mean he didn't personally he only led illoinoi's chapter

"We're going to fight racism not with racism, but we're going to fight it with solidarity." - Fred Hampton (7:30)
Powerful words…
He also said we're not gonna fight capitalism with Black capitalism, we're gonna fight capitalism with socialism - also key to that quote.
That's the kind of talk people in power really don't like to hear.
Exxcept he was part of a racist supremacist group that actively attacked white people with pipe bombs and guns
And Forrest Gump fans are still trying to demonize them for it based on inaccurate Hollywood portrayals.
It disgusts me how the police officers smiled when they moved his body out of his apartment
Totally disgusting.
Very disgusting and disturbing.
The saddest part is that it's not surprising
Those creatures were proud of what they did. It feels like those smiles were "Yep cry about it"

He could’ve became a great US president. If not he would’ve definitely became an influential politician. The FBI knew that and couldn’t let it happen. Either way he still is and always will be an important political figure.
Nah Bro, I don’t think he would have gained that much support considering he was the leader of a Black Supremacist Terror Group.
I’m so angry to have never before been educated about this American hero.
Mr. Hampton deserves to live on in how we view our country and the policies that shape it moving forward.
Someone who actively supports socialism during the cold war and created a militia that was trying to police itself is American?
@@CursxR0 You’re referring to a well trained militia that bore arms to protect their constitutional rights. Your understanding of patriotism comes across as conveniently self-serving.

In the 60’s, most of our black civil rights/human rights activists who were pivotal to American black history were basically all killed. Smh. Imagine if Martin, Malcolm, Frederick, etc still lived on.
“We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.” -Fred Hampton
America needs more socialism to eliminate inequality and racial divides!
@@shark7n10 Come to Cuba, there they have socialism with with egalitarian poverty and inequality between politicians and citizens.
Socialism in Cuba has NOT disappeared racial tensions, it has only hidden them from the world.
@@michellpolicarpio1021 Come to India we have parties with socialist ideals operating within a democratic framework that has succeeded in decreasing wealth inequalities at many sections of the society...There is more to communism than just failed places such as USSR and Venezuela...and also Cuba failed due to US imposing unnecessary sanctions and economic pressure without letting it to thrive...Look at Vietnam they are also proving themselves to be a rival to China even during the last few years
@@michellpolicarpio1021 have you, just maybe, considered the fact that Cuba is poor because the US, the worlds largest economy, has sanctioned it since the 60s?
@@michellpolicarpio1021 just look at Germany, Denmark or Sweden. All more democratic, happier and with a higher standard of living than the US. At least in part due to democratic socialism.
The fact he was the same age as me when he was targeted and murdered by the state, and how impactful his legacy is, is just mind boggling... Imagine what could've been done had he had the chance to be alive to this day. Rest in power
Thats why the fbi felt so threatened...they couldnt allow a black leader so young and powerful to thrive.
We all must be more like Fred Hampton if we are to free ourselves from the shackles that keep us bound to wage labor.
I have never been so emotional over an 18 minute documentary at human rights being stripped away but here I am at 1:11 am. Crying.
Ghetto children?disgusting, they were feeding children unlike the government.
9:58
@Chris Ramos but it is the governments fault for not investing in those areas and how is it failure of ones character for being born poor?? that's really ignorant.
@Chris Ramos but yeah, they didn't do well for those children and they are the ones who needed it more
seeing that got used as an excuse for some faulse acussions is nasty
The threat was Grits
"Racism is an excuse used for capitalism."
Read the book "Confessions Of An Economic Hitman" to see how this is carried out.
A very insightful book.
Definitely!A wonderful insightful read.
One of my favorite books of all time. Even though John Perkins details his life in the book, there were moments I thought he fictionalized it. Like it's too outrageous to be reality.
@@meluk6991 Too outrageous...in your opinion? or is that a fact?
@@nnoir simply fact.
I feel blessed to have attended an HBCU where my black sociology professor taught about this and many more racist practices that the U.S. government committed against the black community. This story along with the FBI's cointel pro, black Wall St, etc was all taught to show how black Americans went from post slavery growth and independent economic networks to widespread unemployment and crime ridden communities within a 10yr period between 1960-1970
Wow. Great job, Vox. This needs to be (but unfortunately never will be) taught in schools.
"He's good and dead." Well if that doesn't speak volumes then IDK what does.
@Ronald Williams What it means is pls educate yourself before being ignorant
@Ronald Williams the point is that you're slow
He was not dead after being shot. The cops then had those in the apt face the wall. Then they executed him. Then they said he's good and dead now.
You only ever hear bad things about the Black Panthers
When in reality they were the only ones looking out for Black people
Who?
Naw joe Biden is pandering pretty well
@Frederic Menjivar He was dead.
Unfortunately, the black Panthers are a twisted she'll of it's former self. 40 years of killing and imprisoning it's leaders will do that to any organization
@White lives matter straight man lel 😂
Because he was trying to create a functioning community.
This was awesome, thanks so much for putting this together❤❤
He was just a kid. He was incredibly intelligent and had an old soul.
I did get what you mean but they were not kids anybody under the age of 18 is a kid I hate when people do that let's give them the respect of being younger adults that didn't carry themselves like children let's give them that respect of an adult that's how I personally see it they were not kids they were adults they may have been younger adults and no one can say how long someone is going to live for that they have their whole lives ahead of them because we can go at any time
@@latuba27 he was younger than my youngest child so, to me, he was a kid. Forgive me for being old.
Ppl frm that era were wise beyond their age
@@latuba27 you’re still a kid in your early 20s my guy 😂
@@latuba27 Bro I'm turning 20 next year and I was born in 2005, most old people would say 2005 was yesterday so I am technically still a kid
I wrote a 10 page paper over this in my college honors history class and did a presentation over it, the whole class knew nothing about it.
RIP Fred Hampton
I believe it. Didn't learn this till now and I'm 30 lol
History is important to understand. The Revolutionaries who tried to save us all are important. Thank you.
I have had the blessing and amazing opportunity to meet and greet Fred hampton Jr. In the amazing city of Chicago..Grateful for the connection with the family ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡🥰🥰🥰
I find it painful to learn how little America has moved forward on the issues mentioned in this video, since the execution of Fred Hampton.
America doesn't move forward, it pushes back. These aren't separate or disparate issues either, these issues and the injustices that perpetuate them are singular, they're global, and they stem from one specific struggle: it's class struggle, baby. Eat the rich
Body cams show how police still lie when their accounts of what happens.

Thank you for making this great video❤❤❤Huge respect to Fred Hampton and the Black Panthers!
this makes me so mad that he is not being taught in high schools, he was so important for progression
“Progression” he literally created an ARMED MILITIA
@@Nonamelol. he followed the law to a T and memorized every law that applied to him so he could prevent being wrongfully arrested. owning the tools to defend yourself rightfully by the law is not a crime. nor is encouraging the people affected by racial violence by police to legally defend themselves. but of course, you’ve never experienced that, and you can’t extend your mind to imagine even a fraction of that kind of oppression. would you say that same thing about those who fought for our country’s rights in the revolution?
@@grackshack But making an armed group to your name is literally against the law.
@@Nonamelol. according to what law? Genuinely curious/uninformed. Is it different then when white supremacist groups nowadays march publicly with arms? I always assumed that was perfectly legal
@@aimless_aimer7936 Just look it up it’s not my job to educate you. If white supremacy groups are marching that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a militia.
A loooooot of parallels with how the FBI portrayed the Black Panthers' struggle then and how they portray BLM's now.
no sh8t
BLM is nothing like BPP
@@dipropraubha9434 They're exactly alike in that they're both being unfairly discredited in the same exact way: black supremacist goals, they want to destroy white people, inanely violent and destructive demonstrations, and general fear mongering and distortion disseminated to lose sympathy from the greater American public. What do you think Stop Asian Hate was about, or the viralization of videos and movements to directly counter BLM in 2020? It's simply cointelpro in the 21st century.
@@sterlingmorse5409 No sh8t? I'm just connecting the dots here for those that haven't caught on.
Yup.
✊🏾The power and unity displayed by our elders was amazing at times.
He was trying to bring all the oppressed together to fight the power - his fatal sin against the establishment. May his soul rest in piece and his memory remain in the minds of the people.
I grew up in Chicago and was blessed to have parents who were part of The Black Party and was honored to be in a program head by Fred Hampton Jr.All power to the people ✊✊✊✊✊

He wasn't just killed,he was murdered.Better yet he was assassinated.Get it right.
Just like ie

So he was killed

Great Video, very informative. Thank You for this video, R.I.P to Fred Hampton and The Black Panther members. This will truly live on forever ✊🏿
And the right wing thinks CRT is the problem. This world is foul. We never deserved Fred. He was too good for this world. Rest in power.
Pay attention to Willian O'Neils in your life! "THE ENEMY OUTSIDE CANNOT HURT YOU IF THERE IS NO ENEMY WITHIN." African proverb.
Trust but verify, Americans think that Ronald Reagan came up with that. *chuckles*
Maybe to employ more black people in the CIA is to do just that... Increase the enemy within.
50+ Years this QUEEN been telling the SAME EXACT STORY ... let that sit on ya soul
When you can tell the same story thousands of times, that means its true. It's like driving a car. Once you learn you will never forget.
If this is critical race theory then I can see why racists oppose it.
What an awesome man! Imagine what could be accomplished if we all came together for good
The Rainbow Coalition needs to make a comeback. For Fred. This left me heated.
No it doesn't. Those "poor" white appalachians were mostly Scots/Irish immigrants that got free land when they came to the US. Even the poor class has racial lines.
@@carltonbanks5470 it’s better than what we have now which is no coalition. We can’t let the desire for perfection get in the way of starting
@@marilynmonheaux6356
Eh, as long as the culture war rages on and partisanship remains high I don’t think you’re going to see any rainbow coalition for a long time.
@@jojoboko6990 America was polarized in the Nixon and Reagan era that followed the Civil Rights movement.
@@marilynmonheaux6356 Eh not exactly. Those era’s of polarization really don’t compare to this era. Our era’s polarization is much worse.
13:54 it’s chilling when you see those cops smile while carrying his body away. Hatred runs deep in racism.
It makes me so emotional knowing how much they fought for what we take for granted and even exaggerate today, when their situation was so much worse 💔 they literally gave their lives for the cause, and for their sacrifice they left a beautiful legacy behind
AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you for creating 🤎 Power to the People
To the right wingers: this is what it's like to actually be oppressed.

Ive never heard of Fred Hampton, but hearing him speak, knowing what he did, and knowing what he stood for... Im not African American, but I cant help but feel inspired by the way he handled everything. And at such a young age. This man was woke before wokeness was a thing. Rest in Peace. What an incredible, but heartbreaking story.
I'm not either. I'm a black American. All my ancestors are American and we know nothing of Africa. Completely different people just the same skin color.
class struggle is a common struggle. fred hampton was a real revolutionary. looking to fight ONLY the fight of race, the fight of sexism, the fight of homophobia will fix none of the underlying issues of a capitalist society. as he rightly said, racism is not the problem, but the excuse for a system that benefits from the opression of the masses. honor and glory to his figure
Honestly there were heroes for all groups. The Women had people who fought for them LGBTQ had their heroes. Fred Hampton did his good work and found issues that he wanted to help with.
When people start to consolidate power, the government always intervenes.
As a British person, I find this to be hilariously ironic haha
@@mr.langustinos5808 really? When? You sure that was said?
@@Alex-lg9zb How come? Sorry, I'm not amazingly familiar with British history beyond it's unsavory side.
There’s a reason why you don’t learn about topics like this in high school.
Bc it goes against everything this country was built on unfortantely we don’t live in a tyranny.
I learned this in high school but I was in all AP classes so we got to learn more
The same reason he was killed
Great Content‼️
Keep up the Good Work❗️
They fear young black men that can unite communities. 💯
Their FBI said it themselves, they're afraid of a black messiah.
