BLACK PANTHERS DOCUMENTARY and the FBI's Assassination of a Radical Civil Rights Leader: "The Murder of Fred Hampton"
Shortly after the assassination of Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party was formed to continue the struggle of the civil rights movement.

Come view this eye-opening, rare documentary about the heroic struggle of Fred Hampton and the Black Panthers to liberate black people.
