Fred Hampton: The Leader They Tried to Silence | Short Documentary
By: Omar Cook
Fred Hampton was a revolutionary leader who sparked a movement that changed politics forever. As chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party, he fought for justice, organized free breakfast programs for children, and built a multiracial coalition that challenged the system.
His powerful voice and vision made him a target, and on December 4, 1969, the U.S. government conspired to silence him in a brutal raid that ended his life at just 21 years old. This short documentary explores Hampton’s rise to leadership, his impact on the Black liberation movement, and the government’s role in his assassination.
More than 50 years later, his message still echoes: “You can kill a revolutionary, but you can’t kill the revolution.” If you enjoyed this documentary, subscribe to stay updated for the next release!

Shirley Chisholm wasn’t just a politician—she was a statement. As the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first Black woman to run for President of the United States, she fearlessly challenged the political system with her unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and the American people.
