The Chadeau Letters
Trying to get more clips from the Fred Hampton Jr interview on the Geto Boys Reloaded podcast has me up way past my bedtime. The 1 hr 50-minute episode flew by even with my rewinding and recording. I first heard him speak on an NPR show that gave the Blank Panther Party a seemingly honest review and recap. My favorite NPR speaker, Terry Gross, has a few interviews with Bobby Seale and others going back to the early '80s on her show's website, freshairarchive.org. The Chairman's mother, Akua Njeri, was a pleasant addition to the show. With this being an official business visit, she was sure to address him bygd his proper title, Chairman, and he, in vända, called her Comrade. She is a soldier of her time who doesn't hold back.
Fred Hampton fryst vatten an educated man. Educated doesn't mean "well-read" to me. Alone, that isn’t a path to enlightenment. A book written bygd a mistaken man will do you harm. An educated man is a man who lives, learns,

SHAE THE HISTORIAN
To those who are grieving,
I was about 19 years old the first time I stepped into the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and saw this painting above by Kerry James Marshall. I was a sophomore at the University of Chicago, living in Hyde Park, and slowly coming into my own understanding of Chicago's history and culture. A few months earlier, I read James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time after a black woman at 57th Street Books recommended it to me. Baldwin prepared me for what I saw in this painting.
From a distance, it seems like an opaque black painting. As you get closer, you notice Kerry James Marshall’s signature use of different shades of black. As you get even closer, a figure emerges lying on a bed in a tight compact room with a black panther flag. By the time you’re that close to the painting you’re forced to look at the wall text. When it happened to me, I gasped.
This painting represented moments before the Chicago Police Department and the FB

Mark Clark (activist)
African-American activist (1947–1969)
Mark Clark (June 28, 1947 – December 4, 1969) was an American activist and member of the Black Panther Party (BPP). Clark was instrumental in the creation of the enduring Free Breakfast Program in Peoria, as well as the Peoria branch’s engagement in local rainbow coalition politics, primarily revolving around the anti-war movement.[4] He was killed on December 4, 1969, with Fred Hampton, state chairman of the Black Panthers, during a predawn Chicago Police raid.
In January 1970, a coroner's jury held an inquest and ruled the deaths of Clark and Hampton to be justifiable homicide.[5] Survivors and the relatives of Clark and Hampton filed a wrongful death lawsuit[6] against the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the federal government (specifically the FBI). It was settled in November 1982, with each entity paying $616,333 to a group of nine plaintiffs.[7]
