The Life & Murder of Fred Hampton

Joining us this evening on The "Know Thyself" Radio Show is the son (Fred Hampton Jr.) of slain Civil Rights Leader, Activist, Deputy Chairman of the national "Black Panther" Party, 'Fred Hampton.'

Fred Hampton was murdered by Chicago Police on the morning of December 04, 1969 while he slept in his bed under the influence of secobarbitol a powerful barbiturate that was slipped to him by a planted FBI informant. Fred Hampton was only 21 years of age.

During his short life span, Fred Hampton graduated from Proviso East High School in Maywood, IL. with honors in 1966. He went on to enroll in Triton Junior College in nearby Rivergrove, IL. where he majored in pre-law. He also took up an active leadership role over the Youth Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) West Suburban Branch.

Though his life was short, his accomplishments are far too many to put them all in this introduction. Overshadowed by his father's life, Fred Hampton Jr. walks in his father's footsteps.
