Film Viewing Followed by Q and A

The Murder of Fred Hampton

Monday, January 16, 2017
7:00 pm

Art Theater
Downtown Champaign

“The 1971 documentary of the Illinois Black Panther Party and its fiery, young, brilliant chairman, Fred Hampton. What began as a film portrait of Hampton and the IBPP changed when, halfway through the shoot, Hampton was murdered by Chicago policeman. In an infamous moment in Chicago history, over a dozen policeman burst into Hampton’s apartment while its occupants were sleeping, killing Hampton and fellow Panther Mark Clark and brutalizing the other occupants. Filmmakers Mike Gray & Howard Alk arrived a few hours later to shoot film footage of the crime scene that was later used to contradict news reports and police testimony. Recently restored & reworked by Gray, The Murder of Fred Hampton is a chilling and invigorating slice of American history.” (1971, Mike Gray & Howard Alk, 90 min, NR)
