Rethinking Our History
In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors."
So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.
Rethinking Our History
Episode 15: Fred Hampton
I once heard someone say, it's not crazy to say people are after you if people are after you. I have a feeling Fred knew people were after him, but that did not stop him from living his life's purpose.
Helping people. From the age of 10 when he cooked breakfast for other neighborhood kids, to running the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, Fred worked his whole life to better the lives of others.
And because he was good at it, and had the power to bring the poor masses together, the government had him murdered.
