The United States of America is a country built on human oppression. Black people in this country have been slaves, farmers, factory workers, nannies, teachers, pastors, judges, legislatures, and president. But their leadership in riling the various colors of human oppression has been so powerful and uniting they moved the laws of the nation and consciousness of the world. From Martin Luther King, to Malcom X we've seen huge waves of change that occurred. Both of those individuals were murdered by our country's security and covert forces.
Another Black Leader, Fred Hampton one of the founders of the Black Panther Party of Chicago, also was incredibly inspirational. He was able to bring thousands out to his events, and unite oppressed masses of all colors against the evils of capitalism.
Unfortunately our government and FBI director was so scared of that unity, the working class uniting in a "Rainbow Coalition", they assassinated Fred Hampton. This meteoric uniter, this incredible leader, brilliant, intelligent and empowering voice was taken away from his family, his people, us, before the age of 22. A new film came out recently; "Judas and the Black Messiah", that details some of Fred Hampton's life. Let us remember him, and his incredible legacy of uniting and lifting up the wage earning masses, against the evil machine that is parasitic profit-seeking, resource hoarding capitalists.
