Fred Hampton, Jr. is a grassroots activist who has worked inside and outside
of the prison system for change. He is the son of Fred Hampton, Sr., head of
the Black Panther Party in Chicago who was murdered by Chicago Police on
December 4, 1969. Just weeks later, Fred Hampton, Jr. was born into the
struggle and has carried on his father's organizing. In 1990, he became
President of the National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (N.P.D.U.M.).
While incarcerated for nine years on fraudulent charges of arson, he founded
the Prisoners of Conscience Committee (P.O.C.C.). Since his release in 2001,
he has been one of the foremost fighters against America's prisons, what he
calls our modern day "concentration camps."

On September 9, 2006 Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr. was arrested for videotaping
police.
He will be in court April 24, 2007 and CU Citizens will be sending a
delegation of supporters to be in the courtroom.
