Fred Hampton was a fucking legend. There’s a reason the US Government was so terrified of him… And it had more to do with giving out free breakfast to black kids, than any kind of political violence.
Well, that, and the fact that he was a Marxist-Leninist organizing the working class and promoting solidarity with AES states internationally. People often “blunt” the real radical that was Fred Hampton, when he should be fully appreciated for just how amazing of a person he was.

I was just mentioning the breakfast program as shorthand for everything that Hampton and the BPP/Rainbow Coalition were doing.
