View the entire show, dedicated to the memory of Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. The two were assassinated December 4, 1969 at 4:45a by the Chicago Police and FBI in what has become one of many State-led medieval-style Inquisitions against domestic heresy, critical action and theory. And all of the above made the BPP a site of State... discomfort to say the least.
