What the U.S. did to Fred Hampton remains one of the most controversial chapters in American history.
Fred Hampton’s de ath was not just a raid — it was the result of surveillance, infiltration, and escalation.
As chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, Fred Hampton built multiracial coalitions and organized community programs in Chicago. At just 21 years old, he was under heavy FBI surveillance through COINTELPRO operations. In December 1969, a pre-dawn police raid left Hampton de ad in his apartment.
This video examines the documents, the timeline, and the political climate — separating evidence from myth and asking why this story still divides America.
