💡 Black Socialist Spotlight 💡
|
Fred Hampton, born in 1948, was an American civil rights activist who came to prominence in Chicago as deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party and chair of the Illinois chapter. He organized across racial and ethnic divides to found the anti-racist, anti-classist Rainbow Coalition and negotiated a major nonaggression pact among Chicago street gangs. An ardent Marxist–Leninist, Hampton considered fascism the greatest threat to international human rights, saying, "nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all." Hampton became the target of the FBI's COINTELPRO program in 1967, and after his betrayal by an informant within the Black Panthers' Chicago ranks, he was assassinated in 1969. He is survived by his former partner, Akua Njeri, and their son, Fred Hampton, Jr.
