Curtis Mayfields's New World Order

A look at Fred Hampton (August 30, 1948 – December 4, 1969)

Craig Hall and Vernon Martin producers of "RAISE YOUR SELF IMAGE"
Dedicated their 4th program

(February 10, 2011) to Fred Hampton, leader of the Chicago chapter of Black Panther Party for Self Defense
They present a segment of Eyes on the Prize that discusses Fred Hampton. While the program is not long enough to present the entire program, there should be enough to stimulate people to search for more info on this dynamic young African American who gave his life trying to improve the circumstances of his community.
