Caption/Description

The death of Illinois Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton. Hampton was slain by police bullets during a raid on his apartment. Hampton is shown speaking at a rally in support of Bobby Seale. The bullet-riddled wall of his bedroom and the mattress on which he died and the subsequent wake, tell the story of love, hate and confusion.
