Today, we remember the late Fred Hampton, a legendary figure in the Black Panther Party and a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist, who was assassinated by the FBI on this day in 1969.
Born in Chicago in 1948, Hampton served as the Black Panther Party’s deputy chairman and the Illinois chapter’s chair. His contributions as a prominent anti-racist figure and his commitment to multicultural organizing left a lasting impact.
Recognizing fascism as a significant threat to humanity, Hampton emphasized the critical importance of preventing its rise, believing that its impact would extend to everyone. Identified as a threat by the FBI, Hampton faced attempts to undermine his influence through the placement of spies within the Black Panthers.
Tragically, in December 1969, he was murdered in cold blood by police who were assisting the FBI during a pre-dawn raid, with 100 gunshots fired into his apartment.
