Fredrick Allen Hampton (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969) was an American activist and revolutionary socialist.
He rose to prominence in Chicago as chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP) and deputy chairman of the national BPP.
He created the Rainbow Coalition, a major street gang alliance that brings together major street gangs, in an attempt to stop their infighting and push for social reform. Hampton was identified as a radical threat in Chicago by the FBI in 1967, sowing disinformation among these organizations and sending a counterintelligence agent in the local Panthers were both useful.
During a predawn raid at Hampton's Chicago apartment by a tactical unit of the Chicago Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in December 1969, Hampton was shot and killed in his bed; during the raid, another Panther was killed and several others were wounded; during the raid, another Panther was killed and several others were critically wounded;
A coroner's jury held an inquest in January 1970 and found Hampton and Mark Clark's deaths to be a justifiable murder. A civil case was later filed on behalf of the survivors and their relatives.
It was settled in 1982 by a $1.85 million deal; the City of Chicago, Cook County, and the federal government each paid one-third to a group of nine attorneys.
Scholars now widely discuss Hampton's death assassination under FBI investigation after learning of the illicit COINTELPRO program and documents connected with the assassination.
Personal life
Hampton was extremely close to Chicago Black Catholic priest George Clements, who served as both his mentor and as a chaplain for the local Panther group. In times of urgent surveillance or hunting from the police, Hampton and the Panthers used Holy Angels Catholic Church in Chicago as a refuge. They also provided cover for several of Clements' "Black Unity Masses," which formed part of his anti-Black Catholic Movement's revolutionary activities. Clements spoke at Hampton's funeral and then announced a Requiem Mass at Holy Angels.
