Description
The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther On December 4, 1969, a pivotal moment in American history unfolded in a Chicago police lockup. Attorney Jeff Haas was interviewing Fred Hampton's fiancée, Deborah Johnson, when she witnessed the brutal events that led to Hampton's death. This book is Haas's personal account of the pursuit of justice and the fight against injustice, as he and his partner Flint Taylor took on the unlimited resources of the FBI and the Chicago Police Department. Fifty years on, Haas reflects on the urgent need for the revolutionary systemic changes that Hampton was organizing. This book is not only a story of justice delivered, but also a tribute to Hampton as a dynamic community leader and an inspiration to those continuing the fight against police brutality and injustice. Haas's account is a powerful exploration of one of the most significant unsolved murders in American history, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party.
